President Bola Tinubu will on Thursday, August 14, embark on a two-nation trip to Japan and Brazil.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on
information and strategy, said Tinubu will stop over in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates (UAE), before proceeding to Japan.
The president is expected to attend the ninth Tokyo
international conference on African development (TICAD9) in Yokohama from
August 20 to 22.
With the theme “Co-create Innovative Solutions with Africa”,
TICAD9 will focus on Africa’s economic transformation, private investment,
innovation, and the creation of a resilient, sustainable society that ensures
human security, peace, and stability.
Onanuga said Tinubu will also hold bilateral meetings and
engage the chief executive officers of Japanese companies with investments in
Nigeria.
TICAD, initiated in 1993 by the Japanese government and
co-hosted by the United Nations, the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), the African Union Commission, and the World Bank, is a triennial
conference held alternately in Japan and Africa.
“At the end of the TICAD9, President Tinubu will leave for
Brasilia, the capital of the Federative Republic of Brazil, on a two-day state
visit from Sunday, August 24, to Monday, August 25,” the statement reads.
“This follows an invitation by the Brazilian President, Luiz
Inácio Lula da Silva.
“While in Brazil, President Tinubu will hold a bilateral
meeting with his host and attend a business forum with Brazilian investors.
“His delegation—comprising key ministers and senior
officials—will explore opportunities to strengthen cooperation and sign
agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Brazilian
government.”
