President Bola Tinubu arrived in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, on Friday evening, to participate in the 2024 Special World Economic Forum, WEF, on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development.
Tinubu’s arrival marks the beginning of the second leg of his two-nation official visits, following his earlier engagements this week in the Hague, Netherlands.
Presidential spokesman, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, stated that over 1,000 leaders from business, government, and academia from more than 90 countries are expected to attend the high-profile forum in Riyadh.
He explained 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: revitalizing global collaboration, fostering inclusive growth, and catalyzing action on energy for development.
