President Tinubu Returns To Nigeria Following Arab-Islamic Summit In Riyadh.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Abuja after attending the Riyadh Joint Arab-Islamic Summit, where he joined other leaders in addressing the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. During the one-day summit, held to address pressing issues in the region, President Tinubu advocated for an end to the prolonged conflict in Gaza, highlighting the severe suffering endured by Palestinians.

The summit, organised by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the League of Arab States, follows a similar gathering in Riyadh last year and drew participation from numerous Heads of State and Government. Leaders discussed potential strategies for ending the conflict and improving humanitarian conditions in Gaza, while exploring ways to foster stability across the Middle East.
President Tinubu’s statements echo Nigeria’s longstanding support for peace and stability in the region. His involvement at the summit reinforces Nigeria’s role as an advocate for diplomatic solutions in international conflicts.
