The revelation was made by Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, in a post shared via his official X account.
According to Bwala, the meeting will focus on shared interests between both leaders particularly the ongoing fight against terrorism and religious violence across Nigeria.
He noted that President Trump had previously supported Nigeria’s anti-terror efforts during his tenure by approving the sale of military equipment to the country, which, according to him, the Tinubu administration has since put to effective use.
He further hinted that the leaders would also address their differing perspectives on whether terrorists in Nigeria deliberately target only Christians or indiscriminately attack people of all faiths.
“The differences, if they exist, would be discussed and resolved by the two leaders when they meet in the coming days, either in the State House or the White House.”
The statement follows recent tensions sparked by Trump’s comments on the rising killings of Christians in Nigeria. The former U.S. president had re-designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and warned that the U.S. might halt aid or consider military action if the attacks continued.
The Nigerian government, however, insists that terrorism in the country affects both Christians and Muslims alike, describing the violence as a national security issue rather than a religious one.
