President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Abuja, the country’s capital, following a two-nation diplomatic mission to Saint Lucia and Brazil.

The state visit kicked off on 28 June 2025, when Mr Tinubu flew from Abuja to Saint Lucia.

During his four-day stay, he held meetings with Governor‑General Cyril Charles and Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre. The president addressed a special joint sitting of the Saint Lucian Parliament and signed a Technical Manpower Assistance agreement designed to send Nigerian professionals—including teachers, doctors, and engineers—to support capacity‑building efforts in Saint Lucia and other OECS member states.

From Saint Lucia, President Tinubu proceeded to Rio de Janeiro to represent Nigeria at the 17th BRICS Summit on 5–7 July 2025.
