Gatekeepers News reports that he arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 9:10 PM, where he was welcomed by key officials including Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory; Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the President; and Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser.

After the meeting, officials from both countries signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding and agreements aimed at enhancing cooperation. The Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission, established in 1999, serves to reinforce the friendship and collaboration between the two nations.
