President Bola Tinubu on Monday in Lagos received the newly inaugurated President of the Republic of Benin, Romuald Wadagni.

According to a terse notice by the Presidency to State House correspondents, Tinubu received the Béninoise leader at his Ikoyi residence.

It is Wadagni’s first bilateral engagement with his Nigerian counterpart since taking office a week ago.

Wadagni, who was received on arrival by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and led to the President’s residence, held a closed-door meeting with Tinubu that lasted nearly 30 minutes.
