Overview

• President Bola Tinubu is in Brazil for a two-day state visit on Aug. 24–25 at the invitation of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
• Officials describe the visit as a strategic effort to diversify Nigeria’s economy by deepening ties with Latin America’s largest economy.
• The delegation is prioritising the revitalised Green Imperative Partnership, cited by the Presidency at about $1.1 billion, alongside cooperation in mechanised agriculture and renewable energy.
• Talks are expected to produce Memoranda of Understanding, including on direct Nigeria–Brazil flights that officials say could cut travel time to roughly eight hours.
• The Presidency has promoted potential outcomes such as tractor and farm‑implement programmes, job‑creation estimates, and about $5 billion in recent FDI assets, though these figures remain government assertions pending signed, implemented deals.
