Senegalese President, Bassirou Faye, has arrived at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on a visit to President Bola Tinubu. Faye, 44, was received at the forecourt of the Villa on Thursday afternoon by President Tinubu.

This is the first time Faye has visited Nigeria since assuming office in April. He won the election on March 24 after pledging a series of reforms during his campaign.
