July 13, (THEWILL) — President Bola Tinubu, on Saturday night, returned to Abuja from his trips to Saint Lucia and Brazil.
The President’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, in a post via his X account, disclosed that President Tinubu would be arriving in Nigeria on Saturday, after two consecutive trips to Saint Lucia and Brazil.
The president departed the South American nation, Brazil, at 12:50 p.m. local time on Saturday.
Upon arrival in Nigeria, he was welcomed at the Presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja by the Minister for Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Atiku, Ibrahim Masari, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, Minister for Defence, Bello Matawalle and NSA Nuhu Ribadu.
President Tinubu departed Nigeria on June 28, for a two-nation visit to Saint Lucia and Brazil, where he participated in the 17th BRICS Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro from July 6 to 7.
During the BRICS event, President Tinubu engaged in high-level discussions on global governance, economic cooperation, and sustainable development.
Part of the summit included a landmark $1 billion agriculture and energy cooperation deal—signed June 24 during Brazil’s Vice-President, Geraldo Alckmin’s Abuja visit—was highlighted as a major milestone.
The agreement supports mechanised farming, training centres, and infrastructure, aligning with Tinubu’s vision for transitioning Nigeria from subsistence farming.
