President Bola Tinubu will on Wednesday depart Abuja for a two-nation working visit to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola, where he is expected to participate in the 20th G20 Leaders’ Summit and the 7th African Union–European Union (AU-EU) Summit, the Presidency has said.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
“President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Wednesday for a two-nation visit to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola. His first stop is Johannesburg, where he will attend the 20th summit of the G20 Leaders. After the summit, he will proceed to Angola for the AU-EU summit,” the statement read.
The statement noted that President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa, the current G20 President, extended the invitation to Tinubu, while President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil had similarly invited him during his tenure in 2024.
The G20 Summit, scheduled to hold from November 22 to 23, 2025, at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, will convene leaders from the world’s top 20 economies, alongside representatives of the European Union, African Union, and global financial institutions.
The summit, themed “Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability”, will focus on three main areas: inclusive and sustainable growth, building resilient economies, and shaping a fair and just future for all. Discussions will cover trade, financing for development, climate change, energy transitions, food systems, critical minerals, decent work, and artificial intelligence.
On the sidelines, President Tinubu is expected to hold bilateral meetings to advance Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda and discuss regional and international peace, security, and development issues.
Following the G20 Summit, Tinubu will join other African and European leaders for the 7th AU-EU Summit, scheduled for November 24 to 25, 2025, in Luanda. The summit will engage young leaders, innovators, and civil society organisations to address shared challenges, including climate change, infrastructure, the digital economy, creative industries, manufacturing, and agribusiness.
President Tinubu will be accompanied by senior officials, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, Minister of Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Mohammed Mohammed.
The President is expected to return to Nigeria at the conclusion of the two summits.
