As global leaders convene to tackle pressing international issues, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to represent Nigeria on a significant diplomatic stage. On Sunday, the Nigerian leader will depart Abuja for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to participate in the 19th G20 Leaders’ Summit.
This high-profile gathering of world leaders, scheduled from November 18 to 19, underscores Nigeria’s ambition to assert itself as a critical player in global governance. While Nigeria is not a formal member of the G20, Tinubu’s attendance comes at the special invitation of Brazil’s President and current G20 chair, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. This year’s summit, themed “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet,” will delve into critical issues, including hunger eradication, poverty alleviation, global governance reform, and energy transition.
