President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been scheduled to depart Abuja on Sunday for Rome, Italy, to attend the Aqaba Process Heads of State and Government Meeting.
The high-level gathering, which begins on October 14, will focus on tackling security challenges across West Africa including terrorism, maritime piracy, and transnational crime.
According to Presidential Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the meeting will bring together leaders, military chiefs, and international partners to share intelligence and strengthen cooperation on counter-terrorism efforts.
The Aqaba Process, launched by Jordan’s King Abdullah II and co-chaired by the Italian Government, aims to address growing extremist threats both on land and online.
While in Rome, President Tinubu will also hold bilateral talks with other world leaders to explore strategies for improving regional peace and stability.
The President will be accompanied by Defence Minister Mohammed Badaru, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, and other senior officials.
