Tinubu Hosts Indian PM, Modi, Strengthens Ties
President Bola Tinubu yesterday hosted the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who is on a working visit to Nigeria, at the presidential villa, in Abuja.
Modi, who arrived Abuja Saturday evening, was received at the State House Forecourt by President Tinubu at about 10:20 am on Sunday.
The Indian PM was welcomed with the Indian Anthem, after which a Guard of Honour, mounted by Brigade of Guards, rendered the Nigerian Anthem and led the visiting leader in inspection of the mounted parade.
A 21-gun salute followed the inspection of the mounted Guard of Honour.
While together, the two leaders are expected to lead a number of bilateral activities, including a restricted meeting, some delegation-level talks, as well as exchange of memoranda of understanding (MoU).
A release issued on Saturday by Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had said both leaders would be seeking to strengthen the Nigerian-Indian ties during the visit.
