On Tuesday, the President left Abuja for the summit in India at the request of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He then travelled to New Delhi.
After the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) issued a warning strike on palliatives to lessen the impact of the removal of the petrol subsidy, the President’s journey took place shortly after.
While they are away, the Presidential Election Petition Court will also issue rulings on the petitions filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) as well as their presidential candidates contesting Tinubu’s victory in the election on February 25, 2023.
The Nigerian leader is anticipated to convey Nigeria’s perspective at the G20 Summit on the topic of “One Earth-One Family-One Future,” with an emphasis on the need for international cooperation to confront the challenges that face humanity and the environment.
Despite the fact that Nigeria’s membership in the G-20 is desirable, the government has started a wide-ranging consultation process to determine the advantages and hazards of membership.
“After consultations are finished, the government will decide whether or not to submit an application to join as necessary. According to an earlier statement from his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu’s attendance at the G-20 Summit in India is helping to further this goal.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, and the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anite, all accompanied the President on his trip to India.
