Tinubu leaves for Paris on working visit

Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is set to depart Abuja for a short working visit to Paris, France, where he will evaluate the administration’s progress and outline strategies for the second half of his tenure.

Mr. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

During the visit, the President will review key milestones achieved since taking office, assess the impact of ongoing economic and governance reforms, and engage in strategic planning for the nation’s development in the coming year.

This period of reflection will provide an opportunity to refine policies and accelerate national priorities.

A major highlight of his administration’s progress is the remarkable increase in Nigeria’s net foreign exchange reserves.

According to the Central Bank of Nigeria, reserves have surged to $23.11 billion, a significant leap from the $3.99 billion recorded in 2023.

This growth underscores the effectiveness of the government’s fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy.

Despite being away from the country, Tinubu will remain actively engaged with his team, ensuring the smooth continuation of governance.

He is expected to return to Nigeria in about a fortnight.
