We are excited to receive the delegation from @POTUS Biden, led by @SecFudge from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, as they join us in Abuja for the inauguration of President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
The President-elect will be sworn in as the 16th President of Nigeria on Monday at Eagle Square, Abuja.
No fewer than 65 world leaders, including Heads of State, are expected to attend Tinubu’s inauguration.
