President Bola Tinubu has welcomed President Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Senegal to the State House, Abuja.

The President was flanked by senior members of his cabinet who were on hand to receive the Senegalese leader to the nation’s capital.

Faye, who was just sworn in as the President of the West African country in April, is in Abuja on an official visit.

Tinubu was in attendance when Faye was sworn in April as Senegal’s youngest president after sweeping to a first-round victory on a pledge of radical reform 10 days after he was released from prison.

The 44-year-old has never before held an elected office but several African leaders attended the ceremony in the new town of Diamniadio, near the capital Dakar.
