The delegation, which arrived shortly after the Jumaat prayer, was headed by Abdulla Saad Al Rumaihi and included Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mohammed Bin Thamer Al Thani; Sultan Bin AbdulAziz; and the Qatari Ambassador to Nigeria, Ali Ghanem Al-Hajri.
The visit is part of ongoing efforts to bolster bilateral relations between Nigeria and Qatar, with a focus on economic cooperation, investment opportunities, and strategic partnerships.
President Tinubu was accompanied by senior government officials, including Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tuggar, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Atiku Bagudu, Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris, and Minister of State for Finance Doris Uzoka-Anite.
While details of the discussions were not immediately made public, the engagement is viewed as a continuation of Nigeria’s diplomatic outreach to Gulf nations, aimed at enhancing economic and political ties.
