Tinubu Departs For France On 2-Week Working Visit

President Bola Tinubu will on Wednesday depart for Paris, France on a short working visit.

According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the president will appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones during the visit.
“He will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.

“This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year,” the statement said.

Recent economic strides reinforce the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion—a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99 billion.

While away, Onanuga said President Tinubu will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities.

“He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight,” the statement read.
