President Bola Tinubu will embark on a crucial three-day official visit to Equatorial Guinea on Wednesday, August 14.
The visit, set to deepen diplomatic and economic ties between the two nations, comes at the invitation of Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu is scheduled to meet with President Obiang upon arrival at the Presidential Villa in Malabo.
