PRESIDENT TINUBU EMBARKS ON WORKING VISIT TO PARIS
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart for Paris, France, today on a short working visit, during which he will assess his administration’s mid-term performance and key milestones. The President will use the retreat to review ongoing reforms, engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary, and deepen ongoing reforms to accelerate national development priorities in the coming year. In a statement, the Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga, said the President’s commitment to economic reforms is evident in the 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 added that the President will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities while away. “This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year,” Onanuga said. The President’s working visit to Paris is expected to last about a fortnight, during which time he will continue to work with his team to drive national development priorities. As Onanuga noted, the President’s administration has made significant strides in economic reforms, and this visit will provide an opportunity to review progress and plan for the future. Onanuga reiterated that the President remains committed to his administration’s goals and will continue to work tirelessly to achieve them. Upon his return, President Tinubu is expected to implement new strategies and plans to drive national development.
