President Bola Tinubu is expected to attend a G-20 summit
that will be held in New Delhi, India, between September 9 and 10.
Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to the president on media and
publicity, announced the development on Friday while speaking to reporters.
Ngelale said Tinubu seeks to attract foreign investments to
the country during the summit.
He added that the president is working to ensure that
Nigeria can raise private capital from around the world for the development of
its public infrastructure.
He said Tinubu will meet with world leaders and heads of
state in addition to industry titans, and chief executive officers of some of
the most valuable corporations in the world, especially those with Indian
roots.
Ngelale said his principal would host a roundtable meeting
during the summit with more than 20 chief executive officers from various
economic sectors.
This, he said, is to ensure that Nigeria takes advantage of
their interest in investing in the nation in a way that supports the
industrialisation, digitalisation, and renewable energy agenda.
“We are going to make
sure, under the direction of the president, that we make the most of the
opportunity to add value to the nation, to create jobs for our citizens, and
ultimately, to increase and generate resources for the nation to guarantee that
the government can properly finance and support its forward-thinking programmes
across sectors,” Ngelale said.
“There is a lot to cover, and when we get into Nigeria the following week, there will be live updates from India, which I will provide everyday to give Nigerians full access to what their president is doing on their behalf.”
