President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Wednesday for a two-country trip to South Africa and Angola, where he will participate in major global and regional summits, the Presidency announced on Tuesday.

Tinubu’s first stop will be Johannesburg, where he is scheduled to attend the 20th G20 Leaders’ Summit from November 22 to 23 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre. The Nigerian leader is attending at the invitation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, current chair of the G20. Tinubu was also invited to last year’s summit in Rio de Janeiro by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

This year’s G20 summit, themed “Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability,” will feature three plenaries addressing inclusive and sustainable growth, development financing, disaster risk reduction, climate action, energy transitions, food systems, critical minerals, decent work, and artificial intelligence.

According to the Presidency, Tinubu will hold several bilateral meetings on the sidelines to strengthen Nigeria’s foreign policy priorities and advance his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Following the G20 engagements, Tinubu will travel to Luanda for the 7th African Union–European Union Summit scheduled for November 24–25. The AU-EU meeting will convene heads of state, young leaders, innovators, and civil society actors to discuss joint strategies on climate change, digital economy expansion, manufacturing, agribusiness, infrastructure, and inclusive development.

Tinubu will be accompanied by senior officials, including Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf Tuggar, Finance Minister Wale Edun, Solid Minerals Minister Dele Alake, Trade and Investment Minister Jumoke Oduwole, and National Intelligence Agency Director General Mohammed Mohammed.

He is expected to return to Nigeria at the conclusion of both engagements, the Presidency said.
