Nigeria’s Tinubu to meet US corporate executives while at UN General Assembly

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu will meet executives of Microsoft, Meta and Exxon Mobil while he is in New York next week for the United Nations General Assembly, his spokesperson said on Friday.
The Nigerian leader will discuss with Microsoft President Brad Smith how the country’s small businesses can have access to the internet to carry out transactions quickly, spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale said in a statement. Tinubu will meet Nick Clegg, president of Global Affairs for Meta technologies, and the
global CEOs of General Electric and Exxon Mobil, the statement said.
Tinubu is scheduled to leave Nigeria on Sunday for the annual gathering of world leaders, which runs from Sept. 18 to Sept. 26.
Tinubu met U.S. President Joe Biden at the G20 summit in India last week after accepting Biden’s invitation to meet while they are both attending the General Assembly.
“The president is focused on attracting foreign direct investment, attracting jobs, attracting new tax revenues into the shores of our country,” Ngelale’s statement said.
