President Bola Tinubu on Monday received the President of Sierra Leone, Julius Maada Bio, at the State House in Abuja. President Bio, who is in Nigeria for a private engagement, arrived at the State House at about noon for a courtesy visit to the ECOWAS Chairman.

On arrival, President Bio was received by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila. The two leaders held a one-on-one discussion, the details of which remain undisclosed.

This marks the first time President Bio has visited President Tinubu in such a capacity, although he has been a regular participant at ECOWAS summits held in Abuja under Tinubu’s leadership.
The meeting underscores the strong bilateral ties between Nigeria and Sierra Leone, as well as their shared commitment to regional cooperation within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
