According to Dare, both leaders discussed opportunities for collaboration, particularly in Guinea’s expanding minerals and metals sector, which is considered one of the richest in Africa.
He said President Doumbouya welcomed Tinubu’s invitation positively and is expected to visit Abuja in the near future.
Dare noted that the discussions between both leaders were productive and opened the door for stronger economic cooperation between Nigeria and Guinea.
He explained that Guinea’s vast deposits of minerals and metals present significant opportunities for partnership in areas such as infrastructure development and resource investment.
Guinea is widely recognised as one of Africa’s most resource-rich countries, with the world’s largest known reserves of bauxite, a key raw material used in aluminium production.
The country also possesses major deposits of iron ore, gold and diamonds.
Doumbouya recently secured victory in Guinea’s presidential election with 86.2 percent of the vote as the country continues its transition toward civilian democratic governance.
Guinea is also preparing to conduct parliamentary elections within the coming weeks.
The Nigerian presidency said the latest engagement reflects growing diplomatic and economic ties between both West African nations, with expectations of increased collaboration in trade, investment and natural resources development.
