President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has arrived in New York in preparation for his first participation at the the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as the country leader.
In the early hours of Monday, September 18, Tinubu arrived in New York, USA, and was welcomed by top government officials.
On the sideline of the summit, the president is anticipated to meet privately with a number of world leaders, including Joe Biden, the President of the United States, and Von der Leyen, the President of the European Union Commission.
The head of global affairs for Meta Technologies, Nick Clegg, and the global president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, will also meet with President Tinubu, according to his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale.
Ngelale said Tinubu’s meeting with the duo would focus on strategies on how to improve Nigeria’s digital transformation and leverage artificial intelligence.
He is also expected to deliver his inaugural national statement on the floor of the UN headquarters on September 19.
