President Bola Tinubu arrived in Saint Lucia on Saturday, receiving full state honours as he begins a two-nation diplomatic tour across the Caribbean and South America.
- Tinubu landed at Hewanorra International Airport, welcomed by Saint Lucia’s governor-general and PM
- He will address Saint Lucia’s joint parliament session on Monday
- Regional leaders and the Nigerian diaspora are expected at the event
- Next stop: Brazil for the 2025 BRICS Summit in Rio (July 6–7)
- Nigeria attends as a “partner country,” not yet a full BRICS member
Diplomacy often begins with symbols. From Saint Lucia to Brazil, Tinubu’s trip signals Nigeria’s search for broader global relevance.
