Tinubu receives Sierra Leone’s President Bio in Abuja
President Bola Tinubu on Friday received President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Though details of the meeting were not disclosed, it was believed to have focused on regional peace, security, and economic integration within West Africa.
President Bio, who currently chairs the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), succeeded President Tinubu in June.
Friday’s talks came four months after Mr Bio assumed the chairmanship of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government.
On his verified X handle, the Sierra Leonean leader said he arrived in Abuja to speak at Baze University’s 12th convocation and engage African business leaders.
Bio’s visit marks his first official trip to Nigeria since assuming the ECOWAS chairmanship.
Both leaders are expected to strengthen cooperation on democracy promotion, counterterrorism, and sustainable development across ECOWAS member states.
