Tinubu leaves for Germany on Saturday for G20 conference 

President Bola Tinubu will on Saturday November 18 travel out of the country for the G20 ‘Compact with Africa’ (CwA) conference in Berlin, Germany.

German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, is the host of the conference holding on Sunday November 20.

President Tinubu will join other world leaders of the CwA member countries, bilateral partners, and heads of international organisations to discuss ways to boost investments in areas such as energy, trade, infrastructure and new technologies.

A statement by the presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, said the G20 CwA conference would take place alongside the fourth G20 investment summit co-hosted by the German government and German business associations.

He said, “In view of President Bola Tinubu’s globally recognized drive for foreign direct investment in Nigeria, the President will sustain the momentum and advance the mission further as he leads Nigeria’s delegation to participate in the investment summit.

“This visit also affirms President Tinubu’s commitment to diplomatic reciprocity as the invitation to Germany from the German Chancellor is being honoured following the visit of the German Chancellor to Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria, from October 29 to October 30, 2023.”
