Tinubu Departs Saudi Arabia For Guinea-Bissau [PHOTOS]

President Bola Tinubu has departed Saudi Arabia and is en route to Bissau, the capital of Guinea-Bissau.

He is heeding the invitation of President Umaro Sissoco Embalo to join in the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of Guinea-Bissau’s independence.

According to a statement earlier in the day by presidential spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu is expected to return back to Nigeria on Thursday.

While in Saudi Arabia to attract foreign direct investment and mobilise capital to build needed infrastructure, Tinubu signed preliminary agreements on energy-related cooperation.

He also secured a multi-billion dollar infrastructure finance facility from the Islamic Development Bank to fund a multi-sectoral portfolio of infrastructure projects at Nigeria’s federal and sub-national levels.

The development resulted from substantive investment discussions held between President Tinubu and the Vice-President (Country Programs) of the Islamic Development Bank, Dr. Mansur Muhtar, after the President’s return from evening prayers.
