President heads for Saudi with investment options

Nigeria's President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will attend two bilateral summits in Saudi Arabia to discuss the potential benefits of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement. The Saudi-African Summit will focus on economic ties between Africa and Saudi Arabia, including counter-terrorism, agriculture, and environment. The Arab-African Summit will focus on expanding infrastructure, particularly a new high-speed train network between the Arab League of Nations and the African Union countries. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa predicts that the African market will surpass $29 trillion by 2050. Nigeria's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, expects stronger economic connections and increased commerce and trade relations from the summits.
