This was disclosed in a post on X by the President’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun. “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrives in Beijing for his official state visit to China,” the presidential aide said. “He will meet with President Xi Jinping and will hold meetings with Chinese business leaders on the sidelines of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.”
Tinubu was received by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Kaduna State counterpart, Uba Sani; Minister of Works, David Umahi; the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; among other Nigerian and Chinese government officials.
