Tinubu returns to Nigeria after 13-day private visit to France

President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after a private visit to Paris, the French capital.

Tinubu returned on Tuesday night after spending 13 days in Paris.

Chronicle NG reports that the President, on Wednesday, January 24, departed Abuja for Paris for a private visit.

In a statement in Abuja, the Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity Chief Ajuri Ngelale, announced the trip to France.

“President Bola Tinubu departs Abuja for Paris, France, on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, for a private visit. He will return to the country in the first week of February 2024,” the statement said.

Tinubu’s visit to France was his second since taking office in May 2023.

During his initial trip in June this year, the President attended a key gathering of global leaders in Paris.

They focused on establishing a New Global Financial Pact to prioritise support and investment for nations most vulnerable to the ravages of climate change, the ongoing energy crisis, and the long-term repercussions of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Throughout the two-day meeting, discussions focused on establishing fiscal breathing room for countries dealing with severe financial limitations, particularly those that are severely indebted.
