German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will arrive in
Nigeria on Tuesday for a three-day official visit.
A statement by the German embassy in Abuja said Steinmeier
will be in Nigeria from Tuesday to Thursday.
While in Abuja, he is expected to meet with key Nigerian
leaders, including President Bola Tinubu and Alieu Touray, president of the
Economic Community of West African States Commission (ECOWAS).
“The German President will then proceed to Lagos, where he
will engage with business representatives, visit a start-up hub, and meet with
members of Nigeria’s culture sector and civil society, like Dr. Nike Okundaye
and Prof. Wole Soyinka,” the statement reads.
“There will also be an opportunity to tour the city of Lagos
and gain insights into the urban development of a megacity, including
environmental and social challenges.
“President Steinmeier will be accompanied by a business
delegation of CEOs and high-ranking board members of some of Germany’s most
successful companies in the fields of IT, high-tech, and energy—an indication
of the rising interest of German businesses in opportunities to invest in
Nigeria.
“This visit sends a strong signal: Nigeria is an important
political, economic, and cultural partner of Germany in Africa.”
