Tinubu Arrives Saudi Arabia For Special World Economic Forum

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia to participate in the 2024 Special World Economic Forum (WEF) on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development.

The President’s arrival on Friday evening marked the beginning of the second leg of his two-nation official visit, following his earlier engagements this week in the Hague, Netherlands.

The two-day Special World Economic Forum is scheduled to hold from Sunday, April 28 to Monday, April 29, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, said President Tinubu and his entourage will use the opportunity of the WEF gathering to engage in discussions furthering his “Renewed Hope Agenda” for Nigeria.

Over 1,000 leaders from business, government, and academia from more than 90 countries are expected to attend the high-profile forum in Riyadh which is to build on the success of last year’s inaugural Growth Summit held in Geneva, Switzerland. 

The Riyadh meeting is expected to address pressing global challenges across three core themes: revitalizing global collaboration, fostering inclusive growth, and catalyzing action on energy for development.

The event serves as a platform to bridge the growing North-South divide exacerbated by emerging economic policies, the energy transition, and geo-political shocks.
