President Bola Tinubu aboard the presidential jet
Eko Hot Blog reports that President Bola Tinubu will leave Paris for London, United Kingdom, after concluding his mission in France on Friday.
According to a statement issued by the president’s spokesperson, Dele Alake, Saturday afternoon, he will travel to London on Saturday.
Tinubu had been on an official trip to Paris where he participated in a summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
“Aside participating in the summit where he represented Nigeria well, President Tinubu also held high-profile sideline meetings with fellow heads of state and government, global business leaders and chief executives of leading multilateral and development finance institutions from around the world,” Alake said.
“The summit afforded the President the opportunity of projecting, on a global stage, his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition, and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change.”
The president was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja on Saturday, but he is now expected to proceed to London, United Kingdom, for “a short private visit,” according to his spokesperson.
Alake added that he will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival which will hold on Wednesday.
