President Bola Tinubu has just returned to Abuja after attending the Aqaba Process Heads of State and Government-level Meeting in Rome, Italy. The meeting focused on enhancing international collaboration in combating terrorism and violent extremism, with a particular emphasis on West Africa.
During the summit, Tinubu held bilateral meetings with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and U.S. President Donald Trump’s Senior Adviser on Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos. He also met with the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, to discuss promoting religious harmony and addressing misinformation about Nigeria’s religious diversity.
The Aqaba Process, launched in 2015 by King Abdullah II of Jordan, is a global counter-terrorism initiative co-chaired by Jordan and Italy, aiming to strengthen regional and international cooperation in combating terrorism and violent extremism.
