President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has departed for Paris, France, on a short working visit.
A statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, says the president will use the period of the visit to appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones.
“He will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.
“This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year”.
According to the statement, recent economic strides reinforce the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion— a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99 billion.
The statement adds that while away, the President will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities.
The President will be back in the country in about two weeks time.
