? President Bola Tinubu is all set to jet off from Abuja this Saturday for a super important G20 ‘Compact with Africa’ (CwA) conference in Berlin, Germany. The conference is going down on November 20, and it’s hosted by none other than Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor. Tinubu is going to rub shoulders with other big shots from CwA member countries, bilateral partners, and international organizations. They’re all going to chat about boosting investments in cool stuff like energy, trade, infrastructure, and new technologies. How exciting is that?
According to Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesperson, Tinubu’s trip is all about keeping up the momentum for foreign direct investment in Nigeria. He’s leading Nigeria’s squad to the investment summit, and it’s a big deal. Plus, it’s all about giving back the love to Germany after the German Chancellor’s visit to Nigeria. It’s all about that diplomatic reciprocity, you know?
And get this, Tinubu’s got a whole squad rolling with him. We’re talking about Yusuf Tuggar, the foreign affairs minister; Wale Edun, the finance minister; Doris Uzoka-Anite, the trade minister; and Adebayo Adelabu, the power minister. They’re all ready to make some serious moves in Germany.
So, Tinubu’s not just there for the sausages and beer, he’s on a mission to get more German companies to invest in Nigeria. He’s talking transportation, mining, energy, and a whole lot more. And did you know that Nigeria is Germany’s second largest trading partner in Africa? That’s some serious business right there.
Looks like Tinubu’s got his game face on for this trip. Let’s see what kind of magic he works in Germany!
