President Bola Tinubu will on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, depart Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city for Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, on a three-day official visit to honour an invitation of President Teodoro Mbasogo.

Ajuri Ngelale, the presidential spokesperson on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, said the president would hold meetings with Mbasogo, and sign some agreements on oil and gas and security.

Mr Ngelale said, “The President will be accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, and others who will sign agreements and review opportunities to improve bilateral relations.”

Long before the establishment of formal relations between Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea, there had been a history of informal relations which has been very cordial and brotherly.

The proximity and maritime borders between the two countries also increased the migration of citizens which resulted in inter-marriages.
