President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday departed Abuja for
France ahead of the African Finance Summit.
The summit will review the African economy, following shocks
from the COVID-19 pandemic and getting relief, especially from the increasing
debt burden on countries.
During the four-day trip, Buhari will also meet with
Emmanuel Macron, president of France.
Buhari and Macron are expected to discuss the growing
security threats in the Sahel and Lake Chad region, climate change, economic
ties, political relations, partnership to improve Nigeria’s health sector and
contain the spread of COVID-19.
In a statement on Saturday, the presidency had said the
summit will also be “focused on reviewing African economy, following shocks
from coronavirus pandemic and getting relief, especially from increased debt
burden on countries”.
“Before returning to Nigeria, President Buhari will receive
some key players in the oil and gas sector, engineering and telecommunications,
European Council and European Union Representative for Foreign and Security
Policy and Commission, and members of the Nigerian community,” the statement
said.
Major stakeholders in the global financial institutions and
some heads of government are expected to attend the summit.
