Luanda - The President of the Republic, João Lourenço, on Monday granted an audience to the former Head of State of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, at Presidential Palace in Luanda.
Olusegun Obasanjo arrived in the Angolan capital on Sunday, as Patron of Angola-Nigeria Business Council.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo's agenda includes a meeting with the president of the Sovereign Fund of Angola (FSDEA), Armando Manuel, and a visit to António Agostinho Neto International Airport (AIAAN).
Last November, on the sidelines of the III Luanda Biennale, the two met and highlighted Angola's desire for Nigeria's greater presence in the Angolan economy.
In October 2023 and February 2024, the Angola-Nigeria Business Council held two events in Abuja and Lagos, where local businesspeople showed their willingness to promote commercial cooperation and relaunch the sustainable foundations for strengthening economic ties.
The Angola-Nigeria Business Council was created on October 19th, in Abuja, and is chaired by Nigerian businesswoman Fifi Ejindu and has Angolan businessmen António Henriques da Silva and Bento dos Santos as vice-presidents. VIC/TED/DOJ
