President Bola Ahmed Tinubu departed Yokohama on Thursday night for an ultra-long-haul flight to Brazil, where he is scheduled to begin a state visit on August 24, 2025. The journey includes a stopover in Los Angeles before continuing to Brasilia, Brazil’s capital.
This leg of the trip follows a two-nation international tour that began on August 15, 2025, when President Tinubu left Abuja. His delegation made a stopover in Dubai, UAE, before arriving in Yokohama early on August 18 to participate in the ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9).
During his time in Yokohama, President Tinubu:
-
Attended the opening ceremony and plenary sessions of TICAD9 on August 20.
-
Held bilateral meetings with various international leaders.
-
Conducted an interactive session with Nigerians living abroad, urging them to contribute to Nigeria’s development.
The Tokyo visit provided a platform for strengthening diplomatic relations, fostering economic partnerships, and engaging the Nigerian diaspora in global development discourse.
President Tinubu’s two-nation tour reflects Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to enhance international diplomacy, attract foreign investment, and promote its economic agenda abroad. Engagements in Japan and Brazil are particularly significant:
-
Japan: Focused on technology, infrastructure, and partnerships for African development.
-
Brazil: Expected to deepen trade, agricultural, and diplomatic ties between the two nations.
Such visits also showcase Nigeria’s global presence and underscore the importance of strategic international relations in supporting domestic economic and development goals.
President Tinubu’s departure for Brazil marks the next phase of a high-profile international engagement, combining diplomacy, economic partnership building, and diaspora engagement.
The outcomes of this visit could strengthen bilateral cooperation, attract foreign investment, and promote Nigeria’s interests on the global stage, while reinforcing the administration’s commitment to international collaboration for national development.
