Tuggar briefed President Tinubu on the summit and Nigeria’s diplomatic achievements, with the meeting lasting until around 2 a.m. on Friday.

The 2025 AU Summit, under the theme “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations,” focuses on reparatory justice and racial healing.

President Tinubu is expected to deliver a speech at the summit-level meeting of the African Union Peace and Security Council, where discussions will center on current security issues in Africa, including the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The President is set to return to Nigeria on Monday, February 17.
