Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu will call for an immediate ceasefire and peaceful resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict when he attends the upcoming Arab-Islamic summit in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh, his office said on Saturday.
"Nigeria will also advocate for renewed efforts to revive the two-state solution as a pathway for lasting peace in the region," said presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga.
The yearly summit, due to start on Nov. 11, is held at the invitation of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Nigeria is a member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and it is invited in that capacity.
Tinubu, whose administration is fighting Islamist insurgents in the northeast of the country, will be accompanied to Riyadh by a delegation of cabinet ministers, including those for foreign affairs and information, along with his national security adviser and the head of the security intelligence agency.
