Tinubu Hosts Madagascar President Randrianirina at Aso Rock
On [exact date not provided], President Bola Tinubu received Madagascar’s President Colonel Michaël Randrianirina at Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja. The meeting commenced at 2:57 PM local time and was marked by a closed-door session led by Tinubu and attended by Madagascar's delegation, which included Minister of Foreign Affairs Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu.
This visit is significant as it is Randrianirina's first official trip to Nigeria since he took office in October 2025, following a political transition that saw the exit of former President Andry Rajoelina. The discussions are expected to focus on areas of mutual interest, including regional security, agricultural cooperation, and addressing the impacts of climate change that have severely affected Madagascar's southern infrastructure.
This engagement follows a brief bilateral encounter between Tinubu and Randrianirina at the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, in May.
