President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday, departed for Paris, France on a short working visit.
Tinubu in a video by the presidency, was seen greeting top government officials before boarding the Presidential aircraft.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Budget and Economic Planning Minister, Atiku Bagudu, National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, among others were seen at the airport greeting the President before his departure
Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga had earlier in a statement said that during the visit, the President would appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones.
According to him, Tinubu will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.
"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,” Onanuga said.
He added that while away, President Tinubu will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities.
He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight, according to the statement
