Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received the President of Sierra Leone and current Chairperson of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Julius Maada Bio, at the State House in Abuja.
The meeting underscores the continued diplomatic engagement between Nigeria and other member states of ECOWAS aimed at strengthening regional cooperation, peace, and economic integration across West Africa.
President Julius Maada Bio arrived at the Presidential Villa late on Friday, where he was received at the forecourt by a full ceremonial display of presidential bagpipers from the Brigade of Guards, before being ushered into President Bola Tinubu’s office for a private meeting.
Friday’s engagement was held four months after President Bio assumed the chairmanship of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government in July 2025.
He succeeded President Tinubu, who held the position for two consecutive years before formally handing over the leadership of the regional bloc in the same month.
