President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will meet with President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa in November for a business-to-business interaction that will further strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and South Africa.
The Nigerian High Commissioner to South Africa, Mallam Muhammad Haruna Manta, said this Saturday at the Department of International Relations and Co-operation , in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Manta noted that the meeting is under the auspices of the Bi-National Commission formed in 1999, to strengthen the trade and bilateral relationship between Nigeria and South Africa. "The Nigeria-South Africa relationship was cordial under the leadership of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, which led to the formation of the Bi-National Commission between both countries in 1999," Manta said.
He said that the strained relationship between both countries, is currently affecting Nigerians who are regularly denied visas to travel to South Africa.
