Tinubu To Attend Guinea Bissau’s Independence Anniversary

President Bola Tinubu will attend Guinea Bissau’s 50th independence anniversary on Thursday.

Gatekeepers News reports that this was according to the President’s travelling schedule released in a statement by his Spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale on Wednesday.

After a week-long engagement in Riyadh, Tinubu will leave Saudi Arabia on Thursday.

The Nigerian President has been attending the Saudi-Africa summit as part of efforts to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and mobilise capital to build needed infrastructure in the country.

This will be Tinubu’s second official trip to Guinea Bissau.

In July, he attended the 63rd ordinary session of the authority of heads of state and government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) – his first international engagement within the African continent since he assumed office.

This time, Tinubu will be visiting at the behest of President Umaro Embalo.

Ngelale said Guinea-Bissau marked its 50th independence anniversary on September 24, 2023, but the government had scheduled all celebrations for November 16.
