President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to Brazil is “strategic”, and a broader ambition to diversify and strengthen Nigeria’s economy through global partnerships, the presidency has said.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, ‎Mr Sunday Dare, stated this in an interview just before President Tinubu’s arrival in Brasília early Monday for a two-day state visit aimed at deepening Nigeria-Brazil relations.

‎‎The presidential aircraft, Nigerian Air Force One (NAF-001), nicknamed “Eagle One,” touched down at Brasília International Airport around 12:30 a.m. local time, 4. 30 a.m. (Nigerian time) on Monday.

Tinubu is scheduled to meet with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and other senior Brazilian officials on Monday at the Planalto Palace.

‎The leaders will witness the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and address a joint press conference afterwards.
‎
‎‎As part of his engagements, President Tinubu will meet with the President of the Brazilian Senate at the National Congress, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, and the President of the Supreme Federal Court.
‎
‎He will also participate in the Nigeria-Brazil Business Forum as part of a packed programme in Brasília on Monday.

‎President Tinubu’s agenda will focus on boosting cooperation in aviation, agribusiness, livestock, security, trade, and cultural exchange with the Latin America’s largest economy.

‎Key discussions will also explore partnerships in agriculture, energy transition, regional security and areas of mutual strategic interest.

‎A major highlight will be the signing of the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) for direct flights between Nigeria and Brazil.

‎But speaking ahead of the visit, Dare emphasised that the visit is a potential game changer aimed at deepening ties with Latin America’s largest economy and a major BRICS member.

He said that the visit has the potentials to accelerate Nigeria’s economic growth through targeted engagements in key sectors of the Nigerian economy.

‎”Yes, this is the third visit of President Tinubu to Brazil, and it is with a justifiable cause.

‎“It reflects a renewed and focused effort to build lasting economic integration between our countries.

“This is a journey that started 21 years ago under President Olusegun Obasanjo and has gained fresh momentum under President Tinubu,” he said

‎Dare noted that both countries shared similarities in demography, economy, and cultural affinity that make the visit timely and important.

‎He highlighted Brazil’s global leadership in mechanized agriculture, agribusiness, and renewable energy as key areas of interest for Nigeria.

‎“Brazil has a cattle herd of 238 million, even more than its human population.

‎“This success in agribusiness offers valuable lessons for us as we expand our livestock industry,” he said.

Dare noted that while previous visits centered around international summits like G20 and BRICS, the latest “marks a shift towards concrete bilateral agreements”.

‎“This third visit is a state visit, and it moves Nigeria from being a dialogue partner to actively cutting the necessary deals that will open up investments and strengthen cooperation.

‎“This visit is critical to opening the economic chapter of our relationship with Brazil.

‎“It’s about transforming historic and cultural ties into practical, mutually beneficial investments that will boost Nigeria’s growth and global standing,” he stressed

‎Dare added that the visit will strengthen cooperation in aviation, livestock, trade, and other strategic sectors.

The visit marks the second leg of President Tinubu’s two-nation tour, which began with his participation in the ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in Japan.

On the entourage of the President are Speaker of House of Representative, Tajudeen Abass, Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, Gov. Uba Sani of Kaduna State and Gov. Caleb Mutfwang.

Others are: Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, Minister of Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, ‎Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, Minister of Livestock Development, Idi Maiha and Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji among others.
