President Bola Tinubu will depart Lagos on Tuesday for Pretoria, South Africa, to attend the inauguration of President Cyril Ramaphosa.

The inauguration of Mr Ramaphosa follows his re-election as president for a second term.

The statement said President Tinubu will return to Nigeria after the ceremony.
