Tinubu Returns to Nigeria After Three-Day Visit to Equatorial Guinea

 


President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja following a three-day official visit to Equatorial Guinea. The President’s Gulfstream jet landed at the Presidential Wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at approximately 6:30 pm on Friday.
This marks President Tinubu’s 22nd international trip since assuming office about 15 months ago. He was welcomed back by senior government officials, including Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike.
During his visit, President Tinubu and Equatorial Guinean President Teodoro Mbasogo signed a significant agreement on the Gulf of Guinea Pipeline Project. The deal encompasses legislative and regulatory frameworks for the pipeline, its operation, gas transit, ownership, and general principles.
At the signing ceremony, Tinubu emphasized that the agreement would pave the way for new opportunities in gas exploration and job creation. He highlighted discussions on employment, food security, and conflict resolution in Africa, which were part of the broader bilateral talks.
Tinubu also addressed issues like security, the African Continental Free Trade Area, and food security during a dinner in his honor. He urged African leaders to make strategic efforts to retain talent on the continent and combat tribalism, outdated judicial systems, and other barriers to development.
Equatorial Guinea is the seventh African country Tinubu has visited. His previous trips have included destinations such as Paris, London, Nairobi, Porto-Novo, Pretoria, Accra, New Delhi, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, New York, Riyadh, Berlin, Addis Ababa, Dakar, and Doha.
