President Tinubu’s visit, in response to an invitation from His Highness, Sheikh Tamim Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, aimed to bolster cooperation between Qatar and Nigeria. Enekwechi highlighted the positive outcomes of the trip, including a memorandum of understanding to combat illicit drug trade and psychotropic substances.
