President Bola Tinubu will on Wednesday depart Abuja for Paris, France for a private visit.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement.
The statement, on Wednesday, was titled: “President Tinubu travels to France.”
Ngelale said: “He will return to the country in the first week of February 2024.”
Wednesday’s visit is Tinubu’s third to the country since he assumed office eight months ago.
On June 20, 2023, three weeks after assuming office, Tinubu opened his foreign schedule in the city he last visited as President-elect, Paris, the French capital.
During his four-day stay, the Nigerian leader participated in the Paris Summit for the New Global Financial Pact, to “review and sign a New Global Financial Pact that places vulnerable countries on the priority list for support and investment, following the devastating impact of climate change, energy crisis, and after effect of the COVID-19 pandemic,” a statement signed by then-Special Adviser, Special Duties, Communication and Strategy, Dele Alake, read.
