President Bola Tinubu on Sunday arrived in Riyadh, the Saudi Arabian capital to participate in the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit.

The Nigerian leader landed at the King Abdulaziz International Airport at 10 a.m local time and was received by the deputy governor of the Riyadh region, Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Bin Abdulaziz.

The summit, held at the invitation of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, will focus on the current situation in the Middle East.

Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, had earlier said the meeting is expected to address a number of critical regional issues, with particular emphasis on the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Tinubu is expected to speak on the crisis, reiterating Nigeria’s stance for an immediate ceasefire and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution.
