President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja tomorrow, Sunday, for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to attend the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit. The summit will focus on the current situation in the Middle East.

The Summit will commence on Monday, November 11, 2024.

It is being held at the invitation of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and follows last year’s summit in the same Saudi city.

During the summit, President Tinubu is expected to address the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict, emphasising Nigeria’s strong call for an immediate ceasefire and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution.

Nigeria will also advocate for renewed efforts to revive the two-state solution as a pathway to lasting peace in the region.

Key officials including the minister of foreign affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, will accompany the President.

Other members of the entourage are the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris; and the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Amb. Mohammed Mohammed.

After the conclusion of the summit, President Tinubu will return to Abuja.

A statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday, however, was not explicit on the exact date the President will return to Abuja.
