President Bola Tinubu has departed for Paris, France, on a two-week working visit, where he is set to appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones achieved since taking office.
According to a statement from Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the trip will also serve as a strategic retreat to review ongoing reforms and plan for the second half of his tenure. The President’s convoy was spotted leaving his official residence at about 11:00 am (local time) on Wednesday.
During his stay in France, President Tinubu will evaluate the impact of economic policies implemented so far, particularly in light of recent improvements in Nigeria’s financial standing. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently reported a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion, a notable rise from $3.99 billion in 2023. This growth is seen as a reflection of the administration’s economic and fiscal reforms aimed at stabilizing the naira and boosting investor confidence.
Despite being away, the Presidency assures Nigerians that Tinubu will remain actively engaged in governance, working closely with his team to ensure seamless administration.
He is expected to return to Nigeria in about two weeks.
