Tinubu to depart to Türkiye on State visit Monday
President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Monday for a state visit to the Republic of Türkiye.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made this known in a statement he signed on Sunday titled “President Tinubu to undertake state visit to Türkiye.”
According to the statement, the visit is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Türkiye.
“The visit is aimed at strengthening the existing cordial relations between the two countries and exploring further areas of cooperation in security, education, social development, innovation, and aviation,” Onanuga said.
It also reciprocates an earlier state visit to Nigeria by the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, from October 19 to 20, 2021.
During President Tinubu’s visit, both countries will engage in strategic political and diplomatic discussions on shared values in finance, communication, trade and investment.
“The agenda will include meetings between high-ranking officials of both nations and the signing of memoranda of understanding in scientific research, energy, technical cooperation, media and communications, military cooperation and protocol, among others,” the statement read.
The visit will also feature a business forum bringing together investors from both countries to explore areas of interest.
Members of the President’s entourage participating in the bilateral discussions include: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar; Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi SAN; Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (retd) and Chairman, House Committee on Defence, Jimi Benson.
Others are: Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim; Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo; Minister of Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa; National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; and Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Mohammed Mohammed.
Tinubu is expected to return to the country at the conclusion of the visit.
