Tinubu accepts the offer to speak with US Vice President Biden at the UNGA in 2023

In order to meet with Vice President Joe Biden of the United States outside of the UN General Assembly session, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has accepted the offer.

This information was released on Saturday in a statement by Aguri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, following a meeting between Tinubu and Ambassador Molly Phee of the United States, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.

Tinubu reaffirmed that Nigeria will develop an environment that is favourable to private enterprises under his leadership.

In order to encourage its investment in Nigeria, he encouraged the US government to be creative and come up with incentives.

Yes, the private sector will take the lead in the supportive atmosphere we give it. To encourage American industrial investment in Nigeria, the U.S. government must be creative and methodical. Nigeria is prepared to address its unique regulatory, tax, and environmental challenges under my leadership. I’m resolved to provide prosperity to every family in Nigeria, he declared.

Phee asserted on behalf of the US government that it was dedicated to enhancing the incentives for its sizable investment in Nigeria.

You are the only African leader whom President Joe Biden has asked to meet with him on the margins of the UNGA. It is a sign of his respect for your leadership, said Phee.

The 78th session of the UNGA will begin on September 12 in New York, USA.
