President Bola Tinubu & President of Madagascar, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina.

President Bola Tinubu is in closed-door talks with the President of Madagascar, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The visiting Malagasy leader, who arrived at the State House at exactly 02:57 p.m. local time, was led to the forecourt by an array of bagpipers from the Presidential Brigade of Guards.

He was received by a delegation led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, before being ushered into the President’s office complex for a closed-door session.

The high-level engagement marks Randrianirina’s first official visit to Nigeria since he assumed office in October 2025, following a political transition that saw the exit of former President Andry Rajoelina.
