Nigerian President Tinubu to Visit China

President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to visit China in the first week of September 2024 to attend the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation. During the trip, he will meet with President Xi Jinping to discuss bilateral relations and sign several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at enhancing Nigeria's development in sectors such as agriculture, power, and communications. The visit follows Tinubu's recent return from France and is part of the administration's efforts to attract foreign direct investment to Nigeria. Additionally, he will engage with CEOs of Chinese companies involved in oil and gas, aluminum production, agriculture, and satellite technology. This engagement is seen as a strategic move to bolster Nigeria's economic ties with China and improve the wellbeing of its citizens.
