President Bola Tinubu stumbled and fell on Tuesday during a welcome ceremony in Ankara, the capital of Turkey.
The incident happened as he walked alongside Turkish President Recep Erdogan.
Tinubu appeared to miss a step but was quickly helped by officials, who assisted him in regaining his balance.
The president had arrived at the Turkish presidential palace in a black limousine.
After Tinubu stepped out of the vehicle, a military band played Nigeria’s national anthem, followed by the Turkish national anthem.
After the performance, there was a brief moment when the Turkish president used his hands to adjust Tinubu’s position so he could properly face the band.

Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said the visit was aimed at strengthening the “existing cordial relations between the two countries and exploring further areas of cooperation in security, education, social development, innovation, and aviation”.
Onanuga added that finance, communication, trade and investment would be key areas of discussion during the visit.
