President Bola Tinubu departed Yokohama, Japan, on Thursday night for Brazil, where he will begin a state visit on August 24, according to a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy
Onanuga said Tinubu will make a stopover in Los Angeles before proceeding to Brasilia, the Brazilian capital.
President Tinubu’s visit to Brazil follows his participation in the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in Yokohama, held from August 20 to 22. The conference, co-hosted by Japan, the United Nations, UNDP, the African Union Commission, and the World Bank, focused on Africa’s economic transformation, private investment, innovation, and building a resilient society.
Tinubu arrived in Japan on August 18 as part of a two-nation tour that began on August 15 with a brief stopover in Dubai. In Japan, he attended the TICAD9 opening ceremony and plenary, held bilateral meetings with key partners, engaged Japanese companies investing in Nigeria, and rounded off with an interactive session with Nigerians in the diaspora.
“The engagements have been productive, and the President is now set to build on these discussions with strategic cooperation in Brazil,” Onanuga stated.
