President Bola Tinubu is set to formally receive Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a State Visit at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Sunday.
The Prime Minister is expected to arrive in Nigeria on Saturday.
This was contained in a press statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga noted that Modi’s upcoming visit to Nigeria will be the first official visit by an Indian prime minister to the nation since Dr. Manmohan Singh’s state visit in 2007.
He explained that during the visit, Tinubu and Prime Minister Modi will discuss ways to strengthen Nigeria’s and India’s ties.
Both leaders will exchange signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) to enhance collaboration in critical sectors.
