President Bola Tinubu received his Ghanian counterpart, John Mahama, at his official residence in the State House, Abuja on Thursday.
Mahama’s visit to Nigeria which is coming 117 days after his inauguration as the west African country’s helmsman is believed to have afforded the two leaders the opportunity of discussing how to deepen bilateral relations between the two friendly nations.
The Ghanian president took over the reins of power from his predecessor, Nana Akufo-Ado on January 7, 2025.
Tinubu and Mahama are expected to focus on strengthening diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Ghana in areas of cooperation in trade and security and discussing key regional issues within the Economic Community of West African States.
Shortly after winning the presidential election in December 2024, Tinubu visited Mahama in Accra to congratulate him on becoming Ghana’s president.
