During his stay in Lagos, the President met with major investors including Bayo Ogunlesi, CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners, and HaKeem Belo-Osagie, Chairman of Metis Capital Partners.
He also received Mr Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), alongside the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and other industry leaders.

Ahead of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, the President visited Imo State to inaugurate key projects completed by Governor Hope Uzodimma.
While in Imo, he also unveiled a book by Governor Uzodimma, documenting 10 years of APC governance in Nigeria.
On Independence Day, Tinubu delivered his national address from the historic State House, Dodan Barracks, in Lagos.
He later inaugurated the renovated National Theatre, now renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts.
On Saturday, the President travelled to Jos, Plateau State, for the burial of Mama Lydia Yilwatda, mother of APC Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.
At the funeral, Tinubu paid tribute to Mama Yilwatda and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to religious fairness and national unity.
