It was gathered by Hobnob News that PRESIDENT Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart Abuja, for Saudi Arabia to attend the Saudi-Africa and Arab-Africa summits in Riyadh.
Last month, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Adel Al-Jubeir, had stated that his country looked forward to hosting President Tinubu.
After meeting with Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, Al-Jubeir told Hobnob News “We believe that our two countries can take the tremendous history that they have and use it to move our relationship to greater heights. This was the message, and we look forward to hosting the Saudi Arabia-Africa summit in the kingdom soon.”
According to Hobnob News, Al-Jubeir stated that the summit will move the Nigeria-Saudi relationship to greater heights.
“We cooperate in virtually all areas; we have very strong People-to-People ties. We are members of OPEC, and we believe that we are cooperating very closely to deal with the challenges facing our world whether it’s climate change, sustainable development, combating extremism and terrorism, or promoting free trade and investments,” he stated.
