President Bola Tinubu has received Michael Randrianirina, Madagascar’s president, at the State House in Abuja.
Randrianirina arrived at the State House forecourt at about 2:57pm on Monday and was welcomed by Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of foreign affairs.
After a short reception, the Madagascar leader was led to Tinubu’s office for talks.
This is not the first meeting between both leaders.
On the sidelines of the Africa forward summit in Nairobi last month, Tinubu and Randrianirina discussed African solidarity, trade, and economic cooperation, Odumegwu-Ojukwu said.
Last January, the leaders also met in Dar es Salaam for the Mission 300 Africa energy summit where both countries were part of 12 African signatories to a declaration focused on providing access to electricity for 300 million people in Africa by 2030.
Monday’s meeting will further cement ongoing discussions, officials said.
