President Bola Tinubu is set to leave for Paris, France, on Wednesday for a two-week working visit.
His Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the trip in a statement, explaining that the visit will allow Tinubu to review his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key achievements.
During the visit, Tinubu will also evaluate ongoing reforms and strategize ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.
The presidency emphasized that this period of reflection will guide efforts to deepen reforms and accelerate national development in the coming year.
The statement highlighted economic progress under Tinubu’s leadership, citing the Central Bank of Nigeria’s report of a sharp rise in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion, compared to $3.99 billion in 2023. This, it said, reflects the impact of fiscal reforms.
Despite being away, Tinubu will remain actively engaged with his team and continue overseeing governance. He is expected to return to Nigeria in about two weeks.
