President BOLA TINUBU has received the German Chancellor, OLAF SCHOLZ at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The chancellor, who is on a two-day visit to Nigeria, is accompanied by a delegation of high-ranking German businesspeople including Chief Executive Officers of some of the highest-valued companies in the country as well as by a cultural delegation.

The two leaders are expected to explore ways of fortifying the bilateral relations between the two countries.

This is the third major visit of Chancellor SCHOLZ to Africa and his first visit to Nigeria since the inauguration of President TINUBU’s administration on May 29, 2023.

President BOLA TINUBU also has assured that his administration is determined to change the narrative about a weak and crawling economy by bringing about transformation to governance.

The President at the occasion called for improved cooperation in security, natural resources, education, and democracy among others, with the government of Germany.

According to the President, the affirmation of his election by the Supreme Court had removed distractions from his focus on moving the country forward.

In his response, the German Chancellor highlighted the need for further collaboration on infrastructure, particularly in electricity and energy.

He also thanked President TINUBU for his role in ECOWAS and called for collaboration in ensuring peace and stability in Africa and the world at large.
