President Muhammadu Buhari met with President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa at the State House in Abuja.
The South African President, who is joined by a delegation of ministers and business leaders, is in Nigeria for a state visit that is designed to improve bilateral ties as well as collaborations aimed at African development and multilateral cooperation.
The 10th Session of the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission coincides with Ramaphosa’s four-nation tour of West Africa, which aims to boost trade and investment between the two countries.
Last night, the President of South Africa arrived in the country and had a private supper with him at the State House.
Ramaphosa’s visit to President Buhari comes only hours after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) verified the country’s first three cases of the Omicron strain of COVID-19, citing travelers from South Africa as the source.
