President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to embark on a working visit to Paris, France, today, where he will conduct a comprehensive review of his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key policy milestones.
The visit, expected to last approximately two weeks, will serve as a strategic retreat for the President to evaluate the progress of ongoing reforms and refine governance priorities ahead of his government’s second anniversary. A statement from the State House confirmed that the period will be used to “deepen reforms and accelerate national development objectives” in the coming year.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, confirmed the itinerary, stating that the President is expected to return to Nigeria in about a fortnight.
The President’s trip is coming on the heels of notable economic improvements, including a substantial rise in Nigeria’s net foreign exchange reserves. According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), reserves have surged to $23.11 billion, a marked increase from $3.99 billion in 2023—a development attributed to the administration’s fiscal policies.
Despite his absence, President Tinubu will maintain oversight of government affairs, remaining in close consultation with officials to ensure continuity in governance.
