President Bola Tinubu landed in Tokyo, Japan, on Tuesday morning local time to attend the ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9).
The president was received at the presidential wing of Haneda International Airport by Hideo Matsubara, airport ambassador for TICAD; Yusuf Tuggar, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs; and officials from the Nigerian embassy.
TICAD9, a triennial event initiated by the Japanese government, is co-hosted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the African Union Commission, and the World Bank.
The summit, scheduled from August 20 to 22 at Pacifico Yokohama, will focus on co-creating innovative solutions with Africa, promoting economic transformation, improving business environments and institutions, and fostering resilient and sustainable societies for human security, peace, and stability.
During the summit, Tinubu is expected to hold bilateral meetings and engage with chief executive officers of Japanese companies with investments in Nigeria, according to Bayo Onanuga, the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy.
The TICAD event alternates between Japan and Africa, with Tunisia hosting the last session on August 22.
