Tinubu received the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Presidential Villa, Modi is the third Indian PM to Visit Nigeria.
The last visit was by Dr Manmohan Singh who met President Umaru Musa YarAdua in October 2007 when both countries established strategic partnership.
Before that, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee visited Abuja for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit in 2003.
The first ever State Visit by an Indian PM was by Jawaharlal Nehru in September 1962.
Today, both leaders are holding talks to expand the frontiers of Nigeria-India relations. They will also sign key MoUs.
On a lighter note Modi began his address by speaking a bit of Yoruba. And it sounded so intriguing. It shows how important multicultural intelligence is in government-to-government and people-to-people engagements.
