President Bola Tinubu met with former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and African Development Bank (AfDB) President Akinwumi Adesina on Tuesday in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The meeting occurred during the Africa Heads of State Energy Summit, where President Tinubu is representing Nigeria. Hosted by the Tanzanian government in collaboration with the AfDB and the World Bank, the summit focuses on “Mission 300,” an initiative aimed at providing electricity access to 300 million Africans by 2030.
President Tinubu arrived in Dar es Salaam a few days before the summit, which commenced on Monday. He landed at 10:20 p.m. (8:20 p.m. Nigerian time) and was welcomed by Ali Ameir, Tanzania’s Minister of State, Office of the President.
The two-day summit brings together government officials from various African countries to share their national energy strategies, referred to as “compacts”, outlining plans to achieve universal energy access within five years.
The AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina welcomed Tinubu to the summit, posting: “I was delighted to welcome H.E. President Tinubu @officialABAT to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, for the Africa Energy Summit, organised by the @AfDB_Group and the @WorldBank, in collaboration with the Government of Tanzania.
