President Bola Tinubu, along with eight ministers and heads of agencies, is set to depart Abuja for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to participate in the inaugural Saudi-Africa Summit on November 10, 2023.
This was revealed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement released on Wednesday. The delegation will include the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar; Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman; Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Mr. Wale Edun; Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu; and Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Sen. Abubakar Bagudu.
Others joining the delegation are National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Abubakar; and newly-appointed Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Jalal Arabi.
During the Saudi-Africa Summit, President Tinubu will emphasize Nigeria’s dedication to attracting more Foreign Direct Investment and expanding business partnerships, bolstered by ongoing domestic economic reforms.
Discussions at the summit will cover areas such as supporting joint action, enhancing political coordination, addressing regional security threats, facilitating economic transformation through research and local development of new energy solutions, all while strengthening cross-sectoral investment cooperation.
This marks Tinubu’s ninth foreign visit since taking office approximately six months ago. He has previously attended engagements in France (twice), the UK, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, the Benin Republic, India, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America.
Following the conclusion of the summit, President Tinubu will return to Abuja.
