President Bola Tinubu will on Sunday welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a State Visit at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The Special Adviser to the President,
Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.

He said Modi is scheduled to arrive on Saturday, adding that the visit to Nigeria will be the first by an Indian prime minister since Dr Manmohan Singh’s state visit in 2007, when the two nations established a strategic partnership.

“President Tinubu and Prime Minister Modi will seek to strengthen Nigeria’s and India’s ties further during their bilateral discussions,” Onanuga said.

Both leaders will exchange signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) to enhance collaboration in critical sectors.
