President Bola Tinubu arrived in Abuja on Friday evening after a three-day official visit to Equatorial Guinea, his 22nd foreign trip since taking office.
The President was received by top government officials, including his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume; and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, among others.
During his visit, Tinubu and his Equatorial Guinean counterpart, Teodoro Mbasogo, signed an agreement on the Gulf of Guinea Pipeline Project, aimed at promoting mutual development.
Tinubu highlighted the importance of the agreement, stating that it would open up new opportunities for gas exploration and employment. He also discussed issues related to employment, food security, multilateral relations, and conflict resolution mechanisms with President Mbasogo.
At a dinner hosted in his honor, Tinubu urged African leaders to address the exodus of skills and talent from Africa by stemming tribalism, rewarding performance, and reforming archaic judicial systems.
Equatorial Guinea is the seventh African state Tinubu has visited, with other destinations including Paris, France; London, UK; Bissau, Guinea-Bissau; Nairobi, Kenya; and New York, USA, among others.
