Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart Abuja to attend a high-profile Arab-Islamic summit in Saudi Arabia, aimed at strengthening relations and cooperation between African and Arab nations. The summit will cover a range of topics, including economic partnerships, security, and regional development. Tinubu’s attendance underscores Nigeria’s commitment to fostering diplomatic ties with the broader Muslim world and addressing shared challenges.
In addition to regional security concerns, the leaders attending the summit are expected to discuss new initiatives for trade, investment, and sustainable development.
