Tinubu Sends High-Level Delegation to Canada for Investment Conference
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has sent a high-level delegation to Canada for an investment conference. The team, led by Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, will attend the inaugural Nigeria Diaspora Investment Economic Conference in Toronto from August 12-15.
The conference is themed 'Invest Nigeria, Thrive Abroad' and aims to connect international investors with 'investment-ready' opportunities across key sectors of Nigeria's economy. The event also seeks to strengthen bilateral economic relations between Nigeria and Canada.
Tinubu's delegation includes five state governors: Babagana Zulum of Borno State, Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, Uba Sani of Kaduna State, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, and Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State. Three federal ministers are also part of the team: Minister of Foreign Affairs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment Jumoke Oduwole, and Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.
NiDCOM Chairman Abike Dabiri-Erewa said the level of representation signals a clear policy direction. 'The calibre of officials attending the conference demonstrates President Tinubu's commitment to strengthening economic cooperation between Nigeria and Canada through trade, investment and diaspora engagement.'
