President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart for Paris, France, on Wednesday for a short working visit, according to an official statement from the Presidency.
The statement, signed by Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, revealed that the President will use the visit to evaluate his administration’s mid-term performance and review key milestones achieved so far.
He added that 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.
“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 added that while away, President Tinubu will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities.
He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight, according to the statement.
