During his stay in Lagos, President Tinubu held a series of high-level engagements with prominent investors, including Global Infrastructure Partners’ CEO Bayo Ogunlesi and Akeem Belo-Osagie, Chairman of Metis Capital Partners and former UBA and Etisalat chairman.
He also received the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), Mr. Arsenio Dominguez, alongside the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and other key stakeholders. Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s determination to harness Nigeria’s vast maritime potential as a strategic alternative to oil dependency.
Ahead of Nigeria’s 65th Independence anniversary, the president visited Imo State to commission major projects executed by Governor Hope Uzodimma and also unveiled a book documenting ten years of APC-led governance in the country.
From Dodan Barracks, the president delivered his Independence Day broadcast, later proceeding to inaugurate the newly renovated National Theatre, now renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts, where he urged citizens to project positivity about Nigeria.
