Tinubu Jets Off To London From Paris On ‘Private Visit’

President Bola Tinubu, who was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja on Saturday from Paris, France, will now proceed to London, United Kingdom, for a short private visit, Special Adviser Special Duties, Communications & Strategy to the President, Dele Alake, said in a statement on Saturday.

According to him, Tinubu will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.

Alake said, “Aside his participation at the event where he represented Nigeria well, President Tinubu also held high-profile sideline meetings with fellow heads of state and government, global business leaders and chief executives of leading multilateral and development finance institutions from around the world.

“The summit afforded the President the opportunity of projecting, on a global stage, his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition, and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change.”

The president had in Paris attended an economic summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
