Tinubu welcomed with full military honours in Brazil
President Bola Tinubu received a full military welcome on Monday during his official visit to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the Planalto Palace, Brasília.
A colourful guard of honour, meticulously drilled, ushered in the Nigerian leader.
Mr Da Silva formally welcomed Mr Tinubu, exchanged pleasantries, posed for photographs, and introduced his ministers. Mr Tinubu reciprocated by presenting his delegation, largely composed of cabinet ministers.
After the ceremony, both leaders held a private discussion, followed by bilateral talks involving key ministers from both countries and the signing of memoranda of understanding.
Mr Tinubu, who arrived in Brasília earlier on Monday, reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening diplomatic and economic ties with the South American powerhouse.
In a post on his official X handle, Mr Tinubu described the meeting as a strategic moment in Nigeria-Brazil relations.
“Today’s engagement marks the renewal of the historic relationship between Nigeria and Brazil.
“I look forward to working with President Lula to deepen cooperation in agriculture, energy, trade, and culture towards building a future of shared prosperity,” he said.
Mr Tinubu will attend the Nigeria-Brazil Business Forum, a major highlight of his official programme in the Brazilian capital.
