President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart for Paris, France, on Wednesday for a short working visit, according to the Presidency.
A statement signed by Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, indicated that during the visit, the President will evaluate his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones.
He also mentioned that Tinubu will 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.
“Recent economic strides reinforce the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria 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,” Onanuga said.
He further added that while abroad, President Tinubu will stay fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities. According to the statement, he is expected to return to Nigeria in about two weeks.
