Tinubu To Visit Saint Lucia, Attend BRICS Summit In Brazil
President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday, June 28, 2025, on a two-nation visit to Saint Lucia and Brazil.
This is according to his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga says the President would first stop at Saint Lucia on a state visit to deepen Nigeria’s engagement with Caribbean nations.
Tinubu would thereafter fly to Brazil to participate in the 17th Summit of BRICS in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from July 6 – 7, 2025.
He would attend the BRICS Summit on the strength of Nigeria’s status as a ‘partner country’.
South Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia are other African members of BRICS.
The 17th BRICS Summit will focus on “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance”.
Discussions will prioritise two key areas: Global South Cooperation and BRICS Partnerships for Social, Economic, and Environmental Development.
