Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Brazilian military accorded President Bola Tinubu full military honours upon his arrival in South America.<\/p>\n

The welcoming ceremony was organised by the President of Brazil, Luiz Ina\u0301cio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n

Tinubu arrived in Brazil on Monday to begin a state visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The President, who flew in from Los Angeles, United States, was received at Brasi\u0301lia Air Base by senior Brazilian officials, including Ambassador Carlos Se\u0301rgio Sobral Duarte, Secretary for Africa and the Middle East; Brazil\u2019s Ambassador to Nigeria, Carlos Jose\u0301 Areias Moreno Garcete; and Nigeria\u2019s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Ojukwu.<\/p>\n

Tinubu\u2019s visit was confirmed in a statement posted on X by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy.<\/p>\n

Onanuga said Tinubu will be officially welcomed later on Monday at the Planalto Palace with full military honours before holding a private meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Ina\u0301cio Lula da Silva.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the two leaders are expected to engage in expanded bilateral talks, witness the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding, MoUs, and hold a joint press conference.<\/p>\n

Onanuga added that Brazil remains a key partner in Nigeria\u2019s food security drive, citing projects such as the $2.5 billion JBS investment signed during the 2024 G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit and the ongoing $1.1 billion Green Imperative agricultural mechanisation programme.<\/p>\n
