President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Delhi, the Indian capital, for a six-day official visit, during which he will attend the G20 Leaders’ Summit and attend business-related meetings.
“On the sidelines of the summit, the president will participate in and deliver keynote addresses at both the Nigeria-India Presidential Roundtable and the Nigeria-India Business Conference. “Given the president’s renowned experience in attracting investment to Lagos State, leading industrialists have sought separate private engagements with him at the summit. The president’s itinerary will also feature bilateral meetings with a cross-section of world leaders from four different continents, representing both G-20 and non–G20 countries. These engagements are geared towards strengthening bilateral economic, trade, and investment partnerships for mutual benefit.
“While Nigeria’s membership of the G-20 is desirable, the government has embarked on wide-ranging consultations with a view to ascertaining the benefits and risks of membership.
