Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, met with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace in London, the United Kingdom, as both leaders shared ideas for climate financing and funding.
Tinubu reiterated Nigeria’s firm commitment to addressing climate change in a manner that aligns with the country’s energy security objectives while affirming Nigeria’s readiness to adopt global strategies for sustainability.
Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
He described the meeting as private, saying it highlighted the enduring and cherished relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
“Both leaders discussed global and regional matters of shared priority, focusing on the urgent and complex challenge of climate change,” the statement said.
“Tinubu and 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.”
“This will be 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,” Onanuga stated.
