Tinubu to Depart Abuja for South Africa, Angola Visit on Wednesday!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will leave Abuja on Wednesday for a two‑nation diplomatic trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola, the Presidency has announced. The visit comes ahead of the 2025 G20 Leaders’ Summit (Nov 22‑23) in Johannesburg and the 7th African Union–European Union Summit (Nov 24‑25) in Angola. [1]

Key Details:

• The 2025 G20 Summit in Johannesburg is the first to be held on the African continent. [1]
• The AU‑EU Summit in Luanda, Angola, will gather African and European leaders to strengthen cooperation on trade, security, digitalisation and sustainability. [2]
• President Tinubu is expected to hold bilateral meetings on the sidelines of these multilateral gatherings, focusing on Nigeria’s role in multilateral forums and Africa’s strategic interests.

Why It Matters:

• Nigeria’s participation underscores its ambition to play a stronger role in global governance and continental affairs.
• The diplomatic engagements offer opportunities for trade, investment and partnerships aligned with Nigeria’s economic and foreign‑policy agenda.
• Engagements at both summits may influence Nigeria’s diplomatic standing and its efforts to lift economic growth and security collaboration.

What to Watch:

• Presidential statements and communiqués emerging from the two summits.
• Bilateral deals or MoUs signed between Nigeria and other countries/organisations.
• Follow‑up on how Nigeria aligns summit outcomes with national policies and reforms.
