President Bola Tinubu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon sign memoranda of understanding to enhance collaboration in critical sectors.

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.

Mr Onanuga explained that Tinubu would welcome Mr Modi on a state visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Sunday.

According to him, Mr Modi is scheduled to arrive on Saturday.

Mr Onanuga said the Indian PM’s visit to Nigeria would be the first by an Indian prime minister since Manmohan Singh’s state visit in 2007.

He stated that during Mr Singh’s state visit, the two nations established a strategic partnership. During their bilateral discussions, the presidential aide said that Tinubu and Modi would seek to strengthen both nations’ ties further.

“Both leaders will sign MOUs to enhance collaboration in critical sectors,” he said.
