The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, is to represent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the 2024 US-Africa Business Summit in Dallas, Texas.

Vice President Kashim Shettima was originally scheduled to represent the President but unable to make the trip following a technical fault with his aircraft, which forced him to make a detour on the advice of the Presidential Air Fleet.

The Vice President will now carry on with other national duties.

The high-profile summit, taking place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, will bring together political and business leaders from across Africa, the United States, and other regions. It features high-level dialogues, networking sessions, and plenaries.

The US-Africa Business Summit aims to foster economic cooperation and explore investment opportunities between the United States and African countries.

Among the African heads of state expected at the summit are President Joseph Boakai of Liberia, President Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi, President Joao Lourenço of Angola, President Mokgweetsi E.K. Masisi of Botswana, President José Maria Neves of Cabo Verde, and Deputy Prime Minister Nthomeng Majara of Lesotho.
