President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Thursday, August 14, 2025, for a two-nation trip to Japan and Brazil.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced this via a statement issued on Wednesday, August 13.
Onanuga disclosed that Tinubu will stop over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before proceeding to Japan.
In Japan, President Tinubu will attend the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in the City of Yokohama from August 20 to 22.
With the theme “Co-create Innovative Solutions with Africa,” TICAD9 will focus on Africa’s economic transformation and improvements in the business environment and institutions through private investment and innovation. It will also promote a resilient and sustainable African society for human security, peace, and stability.

Initiated in 1993 by the Japanese government and co-hosted by the United Nations, UNDP, the African Union Commission, and the World Bank, TICAD is a triennial conference held alternately in Japan and Africa. The last one took place in August 2022 in Tunisia.
The forum fosters high-level policy dialogue between African leaders and development partners.
At the end of the TICAD9, President Tinubu will leave for Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, on a two-day state visit from Sunday, August 24, to Monday, August 25.
This follows an invitation by the Brazilian President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
While in Brazil, Tinubu will hold a bilateral meeting with his host and attend a business forum with Brazilian investors.
His delegation – comprising key ministers and senior officials – will explore opportunities to strengthen cooperation and sign agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Brazilian government.
