Ngelale added that President Tinubu is scheduled to engage with global leaders, heads of state, industry leaders, and Chief Executive Officers of prominent corporations, particularly those with Indian roots.

“We are going to make sure, under the direction of the president, that we make the most of the opportunity to add value to the nation, to create jobs for our citizens, and ultimately, to increase and generate resources for the nation to guarantee that the government can properly finance and support its forward-thinking programmes across sectors.

“There is a lot to cover, and when we get into Nigeria the following week, there will be live updates from India, which I will provide every day to give Nigerians full access to what their president is doing on their behalf,” he said.
