President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Lagos on Monday, January 6, 2025 for Accra, the capital of the Republic of Ghana, to attend the inauguration of President-elect John Dramani Mahama slated to hold on January 7, 2025.

Mahama, who served as the 12th president of Ghana between 2011 and 2017, was reelected in December 2024. He will succeed President Nana Akuffo-Addo 

( 2017-2025).
President Tinubu's trip to Accra is at the invitation of the president-elect, who had visited the Nigerian leader earlier in December.
Mahama and President Tinubu have a longstanding personal relationship, just like Nigeria and Ghana maintain a longstanding bilateral relationship.

Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and other senior government officials will accompany President Tinubu on the trip.
