President Bola Tinubu has implored African leaders to make more strategic and deliberate efforts in addressing the exodus of skills and talent from Africa.
He said this at a dinner held in his honour at the People’s Palace in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.
President Tinubu said research and development must be encouraged with the provision of appropriate rewards.
President Tinubu, who is on a three-day official visit, said development in Africa will begin when the continent starts to look inward for solutions.
He thanked President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo for the invitation to visit Malabo.
In his remarks, the President of Equatorial Guinea thanked President Tinubu for honouring his invitation.
The leader of Equatorial Guinea called for more collaboration and solidarity between both countries, stating that “Nigeria has always held a special place in our foreign policy.”
President Mbasogo said the momentum and dynamism in the bilateral relations should be strengthened while highlighting previous mutual agreements in the areas of education, mining, defence, security, and agriculture.
