JUST IN: Tinubu to receive Indian PM Modi in Abuja Sunday

President Bola Tinubu will on Sunday receive Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, for a state visit at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

“Both leaders will exchange signed Memoranda of Understanding to enhance collaboration in critical sectors,” Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, said on Saturday in a statement titled, ‘President Tinubu to host Indian PM in Abuja.’

Modi is scheduled to arrive on Saturday.

Tinubu and Modi will seek to strengthen Nigeria’s and India’s ties further during their bilateral discussions.

His visit to Nigeria will be the first by an Indian prime minister since Dr Manmohan Singh’s state visit in 2007 when the two nations established a strategic partnership.
