The presidential spokesman said Tinubu, on the margins of the summit in Ethiopia, will also attend an extraordinary summit of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS in his capacity as the chairman of the regional body.

He stated that the president will be accompanied on the trip by some ministers and other top government officials.

Ngelale added that Tinubu will return to Abuja after the summit.
