President Tinubu Lands In Brazil For G20 Summit, Set To Push Global Governance Reforms

President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to participate in the 19th Heads of State and Government Summit of the G20, scheduled for November 18th and 19th.

The summit, hosted by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, will gather world leaders to address pressing global issues under the theme, “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet.”

According to a statement by the presidency on Monday, President Tinubu was welcomed upon arrival by Ambassador Breno Costa from Brazil’s Ministry of External Relations.

He is accompanied by key ministers, including Yusuf Tuggar (Foreign Affairs), Idi Maiha (Livestock Development), Hannatu Musawa (Art, Tourism, Culture, and Creativity), and Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (State Minister for Agriculture and Food Security).

On the sidelines of the summit, Tinubu is expected to hold bilateral meetings with other world leaders to further Nigeria’s socio-economic reforms, focusing on agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.

The G20 discussions will center on addressing global poverty, hunger, energy transitions, and sustainable development.

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga emphasized that Nigeria will continue to advocate for the reform of global governance institutions, highlighting its bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.

“Nigeria has consistently called for the reform of global governing institutions and presents strong credentials as a contender for a permanent UN Security Council seat,” Onanuga noted.
