In a move to bolster bilateral relations, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Monday commence a state visit to the Republic of Türkiye.
The visit is designed to enhance cooperation in critical sectors including security, aviation, and innovation. It comes in reciprocity to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s official visit to Nigeria in October 2021.
During the engagement, both leaders are expected to oversee the signing of several memoranda of understanding (MoUs). These agreements will span areas such as scientific research, energy, military cooperation, and media communications.
A business forum featuring investors from both nations will run concurrently to explore economic partnerships.
The President’s delegation comprises top government officials: the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Justice, Defence, Women Affairs, Interior, and Culture & Creative Economy. Also included are the National Security Adviser and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency.
President Tinubu is scheduled to return to Nigeria after the visit.
