President Bola Tinubu will on Wednesday depart for Paris, France, on a two-week working visit.
A statement on Wednesday by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the president, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed that “During the visit, the President will appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones”.
The statement, titled, ‘President Tinubu to embark on working visit to Paris’, said Tinubu will also use the retreat to “review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary, emphasising that “This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year”.
According to Onanuga, the 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 $23.11bn—a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99bn.
He said while away, President Tinubu would remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities, adding, “He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight”.
