PRESIDENT TINUBU ARRIVES IN RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2024 SPECIAL WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 26-04-24
By Sadiq Aminu President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, to participate in the 2024 Special World Economic Forum, WEF, on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development.
The President Tinubu’s arrival on Friday marks the beginning of the second leg of his two-nation official visits, following his earlier engagements in the Hague, The Netherlands.
Over 1,000 leaders from business, government, and academia from more than 90 countries are expected to attend the high-profile forum in Riyadh.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, explains that the aim is to build on the success of last year’s inaugural Growth Summit held in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Riyadh meeting is expected to address pressing global challenges across three core themes: Revitalising Global Collaboration, Fostering Inclusive Growth, and Catalyzing Action on Energy for Development.
The event serves as a platform to bridge the growing North-South divide exacerbated by emerging economic policies, the energy transition, and geopolitical shocks.
President Tinubu and his entourage will utilize the opportunity of the WEF gathering to engage in discussions, furthering his Renewed Hope Agenda for Nigeria.
