President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently engaged in a closed-door meeting with his Sierra Leonean counterpart, President Julius Maada Bio, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
President Bio arrived at the Presidential Villa around 9:00 p.m. Nigerian time, where he was received by senior government officials.
The Sierra Leonean leader also serves as the current Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
While the details of the discussions have not been disclosed, sources indicate that the talks are likely focused on regional peace, security, and economic cooperation within West Africa.
President Tinubu, the immediate past ECOWAS Chairman, is reportedly hosting Bio as part of consultations aimed at strengthening the regional bloc and addressing challenges facing member states.
Announcing his arrival in Nigeria on X (formerly Twitter), President Bio wrote:
“This evening, I arrived in Abuja to speak at Baze University’s 12th Convocation and discuss with top African business leaders there. Looking forward to productive engagement.”
