Chivayo's meeting with Tinubu

The photograph showed Chivayo greeting President Tinubu inside the Aso Villa in Abuja.

However, the picture was not taken shortly before his death, as some may have assumed.

The image was from October 2025, when Chivayo visited Nigeria as part of a high-level investment tour.

During the visit, he was received by Tinubu alongside Senator Wadada, with discussions reportedly focused on economic partnerships and cross-border investment opportunities.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio was also present at the meeting, which highlighted Nigeria’s efforts to attract foreign investment.
