The Government of Qatar has turned down President Bola Tinubu\u2019s request to visit the nation and hold a business and investment forum on March 2 to 3, 2024.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\nIn a letter sent to Nigeria\u2019s foreign affairs ministry on February 22, the Qatari government said it would not be able to organise the forum as there is no legally binding agreement between Qatar and Nigeria for the promotion of investment.<\/p>\n

The letter seen by Pointblanknews.com also said the Qatari Ministry of Commerce would be busy with other events on the proposed days for Tinubu\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Embassy has the honour to inform that the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Qatar apologises that it will not be able to hold a Business and Investment Forum as proposed by Nigerian side\u201d because \u201cthere is no any agreement signed between the State of Qatar and the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Investment Promotion and Protection,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n

The Gulf nation further stressed that its commerce and industry minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Qassim al-Thani \u201cwill be carrying out official missions outside the country during the upcoming visit period\u201d which makes him unavailable to meet with the Nigerian leader.<\/p>\n

It added that its officials would be too busy because Qatar was hosting its own \u201cweb summit\u201d the same time Tinubu planned to visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State of Qatar will be hosting a web summit during the suggested period and the state\u2019s authorities will be preoccupied with this event,\u201d the letter indicated.<\/p>\n

Last year, the United Arab Emirates authorities faulted an announcement that a visa ban on Nigerians had been lifted after Tinubu visited the UAE leader, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
