 Good afternoon. I am Shadeh Uwe. This is News Brief. President Bola Tinibu has announced fresh moves to engage nations in the Arab world in an effort to retract businesses and additional foreign direct investment as he prepares to attend two major summits. This is in line with a spooch for new inflows of foreign exchange into the Nigerian economy through investments in growth, enabling and labor-intensive sectors of the economy. Briefing State House correspondents ahead of the president's departure to re-add special advice to the president on media and publicity, Adjiri Ingellale disclosed that President Tinibu will first attend the Saudi Africa summit scheduled to take place on November 10, whereas engagement in the Saudi summit will basically be on several areas of mutual concern, such as strengthening economic ties between the regions concerning the issues of counterterrorism, the environment, agriculture, and many other areas. His Excellency President Bola Tinibu will be heading to Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to attend two major summits. The first of which is the Saudi Africa summit, at which several areas of mutual concern will be addressed with respect to the economic ties between the regions, with respect to the issues of counterterrorism, the environment, agriculture, and many other areas of mutual concern where we feel much more can be done in terms of accelerating the level of trade and investment between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the African continent. So the president is going to be very active in leading that effort from the forefront. And then, of course, that will be holding on November 10, followed by a very important summit that is the Arab African summit, holding on November 11, where His Excellency President Bola Tinibu, in his capacity, not just as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but also as the chairman of the Iqawas Authority of Heads of Government, will be taking part in the summit. In Ghalari, added that the president will be leading Africa's efforts to leverage the opportunities afforded by the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, which provides a single trade market for over one billion Africans. A deepening partnership of the two regions, that is the League of Arab Nations, as well as the African Union, with respect to how we can integrate in terms of our infrastructure, how we can facilitate the establishment of a new high-speed train network that would tie Arab nations from the Middle East to Northern Africa to the rest of the African continent. Certainly His Excellency, Mr. President, is passionate about any area in which we can really leverage on the massive population and market that not just Africa presents, but that Nigeria itself presents. We are expecting that the outcomes of this summit will lead to very tangible results with respect to an increase in trade between not just the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but all Arab nations, and especially the leading economies in Africa, of which Nigeria is now number one. So we believe there's a lot to be gained from not just the Saudi African Summit, but also the Arab African Summit. But obviously, with a particular emphasis on what the Federal Republic of Nigeria stands to gain under the leadership of His Excellency, Bola Mettinubu. President Tinnubu will participate in the Arab African League Summit, which will take place on November 11th, in East Capacity, as the ECOWAS chairman and with the authority of head of state, advocating a deepening partnership between the two regions concerning the integration of Africa and infrastructure development.
