President Tinubu Departs To Paris For Working Visit

President Bola Tinubu is set to travel to Paris, France, on Wednesday for a brief working visit, according to a statement from the Presidency.

Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga explained that the visit will serve as an opportunity for the President to evaluate his administration’s progress at the mid-term mark.

Tinubu will assess key achievements, review ongoing policy reforms, and map out strategies for the next phase of his leadership as he approaches his second anniversary in office.

Onanuga said, “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.”

Despite being away, Tinubu will remain actively involved in governance and stay in close contact with his team, ensuring that government operations continue smoothly.

The President is expected to return to Nigeria in about two weeks.

KanyiDaily recalls that President Bola Tinubu recently dismissed the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), including Group Chief Executive Officer Mele Kyari and Board Chairman Pius Akinyelure.
