Tinubu Returns To Nigeria After Strengthening Economic Ties With South Africa
President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after co-chairing the 11th session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission (BNC) in South Africa.
The event, which he led alongside South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, focused on strengthening bilateral relations and fostering cooperation between the two countries.
The presidential jet landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at 9:10 pm, where Tinubu was warmly welcomed by key government officials and dignitaries.
Among those present were the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila, National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, and the FCT Commissioner of Police, Peter Opara.
The Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission, established in 1999, is a strategic platform designed to enhance the relationship between Africa’s two largest economies.
This year’s session featured discussions across eight critical sectors: political consultations, consular and migration affairs, banking and finance, defence and security, manufacturing, the social sector, mines and energy, and trade and investments.
These sectors were addressed through working groups tasked with identifying challenges and opportunities for collaboration.
A highlight of the meeting was the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements by officials from both nations.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
