President Bola Tinubu on Sunday met with Pope Leo XIV in Vatican City, Rome, Italy.
The meeting marks a significant moment in diplomatic and interfaith relations between Nigeria and the Holy See.
President Tinubu arrived in the Vatican on Saturday following a formal invitation to attend the historic event.
The president is also expected to join other world leaders and dignitaries at a solemn Mass marking the beginning of the pontificate of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, the 267th Bishop of Rome and newly elected leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
Upon his arrival, Tinubu was hosted to a dinner by His Eminence Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State.
During their conversation, President Tinubu expressed Nigeria’s deep appreciation for the Vatican’s longstanding goodwill and reaffirmed the country’s commitment to promoting interfaith dialogue, tolerance, and cooperation in an increasingly polarised world.
