EKO HOT BLOG reports that the president is expected to visit France, Kenya, and Rwanda as part of the trip.
According to earlier details, Tinubu’s first stop will be France before proceeding to Nairobi, Kenya, where he will attend the Africa-France Summit scheduled to hold next week.
The summit, co-chaired by Emmanuel Macron and William Ruto, will focus on key issues including energy transition, green industrialisation, digital transformation, restructuring of global financing architecture, and climate action.
Tinubu’s participation from May 11 to May 12 is expected to reinforce Nigeria’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with African countries and France.
With the theme “Africa Forward: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth,” the summit will bring together African and French leaders to deliberate on economic transformation, climate resilience, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, technological advancement, and peace-building.
After the Kenya engagement, Tinubu will travel to Kigali, Rwanda, to attend the Africa CEO Forum scheduled for May 14 and 15.
The forum, themed “Scale or Fail,” is expected to gather over 2,000 private sector leaders, investors, and policymakers to discuss strategies for accelerating economic growth
through regional integration and cross-border investment. The event is organised in partnership with the International Finance Corporation.
During both events, Tinubu is expected to present his administration’s reform agenda aimed at positioning Nigeria as a key investment destination. He will also hold meetings with global and African business leaders.
The president will be accompanied by senior government officials and is expected to return to Nigeria after the Rwanda summit.
