Bola Tinubu has invited Mamadi Doumbouya for a state visit to Nigeria following a bilateral meeting held on the sidelines of the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda.
Gatekeepers News reports that the development was disclosed on Thursday by Sunday Dare while briefing journalists after the day’s engagements.
The Africa CEO Forum, regarded as the largest international gathering of Africa’s private sector, has drawn more than 2,500 decision-makers for executive dialogues, debates, and negotiations focused on advancing shared ownership and economic growth across the continent.
According to Dare, both leaders discussed opportunities for economic cooperation, particularly in Guinea’s minerals and metals sector, which he said presents significant prospects for partnership with Nigeria.
“The President had a fruitful meeting, and you know Guinea is in debt to our president; he got some very good advice,” Dare said.
“Very soon, on the invitation of President Tinubu, he is likely to visit Nigeria.”
Doumbouya, who recently won Guinea’s presidential election with 86.2 per cent of the vote, is currently overseeing the country’s transition toward civilian democratic governance.
Dare noted that the meeting marked the beginning of a new phase in bilateral relations between Nigeria and Guinea, especially in the mining and natural resources sector.
“Guinea has a lot of potential, metals, minerals, and so on,” he said.
“The opening for partnership between Nigeria and Guinea has been opened. The possibilities are great, and I’m sure we will see that develop in the days and years ahead.”
