President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday hosted President Brice Oligui Nguema of Gabon at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, where both leaders held a closed-door meeting aimed at strengthening diplomatic relations and expanding economic cooperation between Nigeria and Gabon.
The meeting marks a renewed effort to boost South-South collaboration between the two countries, with discussions focused on investment opportunities and strategic regional partnerships.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, President Nguema emphasized Gabon’s readiness to partner with Nigeria, especially in the areas of trade and investment.
“We are for South-South cooperation, and we believe it will be a good thing for Nigerian companies to come to Gabon and invest. Things are going very well in Gabon right now, and we want to leverage this momentum by inviting investment into our oil and mineral sectors,” Nguema stated.
Describing Gabon as a resource-rich nation with significant potential in the oil and mineral industries, President Nguema invited Nigerian investors to explore opportunities in the country’s extractive sectors and beyond.
The meeting is seen as a strategic move by both countries to bolster economic growth, political collaboration, and regional stability within Central Africa.
President Nguema, who was sworn in earlier this year after winning the presidential election, is currently on a diplomatic tour aimed at strengthening Gabon’s foreign relations and attracting foreign direct investment for national development.
His visit to Nigeria underscores Gabon’s commitment to building robust intra-African ties and promoting sustainable growth across the continent.
