President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived in Kigali, Rwanda, to participate in the 2026 Africa CEO Forum, one of the continent’s biggest gatherings of political leaders, investors and business executives.
The President touched down at the Kigali International Airport at exactly 1:58pm ahead of the two-day summit holding on the 14th and 15th of May under the theme: “Scale or Fail: Why Africa Must Embrace Shared Ownership.”
The forum is expected to focus on how African nations can deepen regional integration, mobilise private capital, strengthen infrastructure, and build competitive industries capable of driving growth across the continent.
President Tinubu’s participation comes amid renewed efforts by his administration to position Nigeria as a major investment destination through economic reforms, infrastructure development and expanded regional trade partnerships under the African Continental Free Trade Area.
The summit is also expected to provide Nigeria another opportunity to engage global investors on critical sectors including energy, agriculture, technology, manufacturing and financial services.
Several African Heads of State, top CEOs, development finance institutions and multinational corporations are attending the forum, with discussions expected to centre on industrialisation, economic resilience, job creation and Africa’s place in the evolving global economy.
For Nigeria, the engagement in Kigali is seen as part of broader diplomatic and economic efforts to attract investment, strengthen partnerships and project Africa’s largest economy as a key driver of continental growth.
