During his time in Kenya, Tinubu is expected to participate in the Africa-France Summit in Nairobi, an event jointly led by Emmanuel Macron and William Ruto.

According to the statement, the president’s presence at the summit reflects Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with African countries and France.
Following the Kenya engagement, Tinubu will proceed to Kigali to attend the Africa CEO Forum, slated for May 14 to 15.
