President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday met with Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, and the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Archdiocese, Ignatius Kaigama, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Although details of the meetings were not made known to the press, Daily Trust reports that Kaigama’s discussions with the president focused on the state of the nation amid economic and security challenges.
