President Bola Tinubu was received on Wednesday at Buckingham Palace, London, UK, by King Charles III for a private meeting.
Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, in a statement on Thursday, said the meeting highlighted the enduring and cherished relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
He said this was the two leaders’ first meeting since they met in Dubai at the COP 28 Climate Summit last year.
“The latest meeting was at the King’s request.
“Both leaders discussed global and regional matters of shared priority, focusing on the urgent and complex challenge of climate change,” said Onanuga.
He said Tinubu and King Charles also explored opportunities for collaboration in anticipation of the upcoming COP 29 Summit in Azerbaijan and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa.
“President Tinubu reiterated Nigeria’s firm commitment to addressing climate change in a manner that aligns with the country’s energy security objectives whilst affirming Nigeria’s readiness to adopt global strategies for sustainability.
“During their dialogue, the two leaders shared ideas for innovative approaches to climate financing and funding, expressing mutual interest in strengthening partnerships by harnessing Nigeria’s leadership position in Africa and the Commonwealth,” Onanuga stated.
