Qatar State Visit Still On Despite Botched Nigeria Investment Forum
-
Qatar did not snub President Tinubu, the state visit will proceed as planned on March 2-3. The botched investment forum is separate from the state visit.
-
The investment forum was organized by private sector groups in Nigeria and Qatar, not the governments. It was not an official part of the state visit.
-
The visit aims to strengthen economic cooperation between Nigeria and Qatar in sectors like oil, manufacturing, agriculture, etc.
-
This is not the first time a planned Nigerian presidential visit to Qatar was rescheduled. Buhari's 2022 visit was postponed due to the World Cup.
-
Tinubu's visit comes around the same dates in March that Buhari ultimately visited Qatar in 2023.
