President Bola Tinubu has departed Abuja for Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, for a three-day official visit that could see potential agreements signed on energy and security.

The trip is to honour President Teodoro Mbasogo’s invitation.

The President arrived at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at about 2 pm and boarded the presidential jet after he was saluted by top military personnel and government officials.

Those on the ground were the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Mr Abdullahi Ganduje; the Imo State Governor, Mr Hope Uzodimma; his Kwara State counterpart, Mr AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq; the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike; and the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila.

Giving details of the trip before the departure of the President, his media aide, Mr Ajuri Ngelale, said Mr Tinubu would hold meetings with Mr Mbasogo and sign agreements on oil and gas and security.

“The President will be accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar, and others who will sign agreements and review opportunities to improve bilateral relations,” Mr Ngelale said.
