President Bola Tinubu left Nigeria on Wednesday for a two-week working visit to Paris, France, where he will assess his administration’s mid-term performance and strategize for the next phase of governance.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the visit will serve as a period of reflection and strategic planning as Tinubu approaches his second year in office.
“This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year,” the statement read.
The visit also comes amid notable economic progress, with the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting a rise in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion, up from $3.99 billion in 2023—an achievement the Presidency attributes to Tinubu’s fiscal reforms.
Tinubu’s convoy was seen departing his official residence around 11:00 am (local time), marking the start of the overseas engagement aimed at shaping the next phase of his administration.
