President Bola Tinubu on Friday evening returned to Abuja from Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, after a three-day state visit.
He left Nigeria last Wednesday at the invitation of his counterpart, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea.
Tinubu had kicked off the visit with a number of diplomatic and economic activities between Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea, the highpoint of which was the signing of the Gulf of Guinea Pipeline agreement.
The visit was also an opportunity to revive the Nigeria-Equatorial Guinea Joint National Commission, under which many other bilateral activities have been set in motion and to be activated in November.
President Tinubu, who was escorted by the Equatorial Guinean Prime Minister, Manuela Roka Botey, departed the Malabo International Airport at 4:03pm, and arrived the Aso Rock Presidential Villa before 6pm Nigerians time.
