President Bola Tinubu is set for another international journey, shortly after his return from France.
President Tinubu is scheduled to visit China in first week of September.
The Nigerian leader will participate in the 2024 Forum on China–Africa Cooperation during this visit.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Tinubu, Ajuri Ngelale, shared the details of the trip at a press briefing held at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
Ngelale emphasized that the visit is part of the current administration’s strategy to enhance the welfare of Nigerians.
President Tinubu is anticipated to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping and sign several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs).
Additionally, he will meet with ten CEOs from prominent Chinese firms involved in sectors like oil and gas, aluminum, agriculture, and satellite technology.

Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s 2023 Vice Presidential candidate, has urged President Bola Tinubu to reconsider seeking re-election in 2027, claiming it would be politically unwise.
Speaking on News program, Baba-Ahmed said Tinubu should “throw in the towel” if he is truly the savvy politician many believe him to be. He argued that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost credibility, predicting their defeat in the next election.
Mocking Tinubu’s political maneuvers, Baba-Ahmed recounted how he backed various presidential candidates since 2007—culminating, in his words, in an “electoral heist” in 2023.
“If he’s that smart, it’s clear he’s going to lose in 2027,” he said, while suggesting that at least two candidates could defeat the president in the next poll.
He added that Tinubu, like former President Buhari, would fail to deliver on campaign promises. “Buhari didn’t develop Nigeria, didn’t provide security, didn’t fight corruption. Neither will Tinubu,” he asserted.
Baba-Ahmed expressed confidence that Nigerians will rise to reject bad leadership in 2027, uniting to bring genuine democracy to the country.
