The President-elect, Bola Tinubu on Wednesday departed
Nigeria for Europe on a working visit.
While in Europe, Tinubu will finetune the transition plans,
programmes, and policy options with some of his key aides without distractions.
During the visit, the President-elect will engage with
investors and other key allies with the goal of marketing investment
opportunities in the country and his administration’s readiness to enable a
business-friendly climate through policies and regulations.
A statement by his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman said: “Already,
meetings with multi-sectoral actors in Europe’s business community including
manufacturing, agriculture, tech and energy have been lined up.
“Asíwájú Tinubu hopes to convince them of Nigeria’s
readiness to do business under his leadership through mutually-beneficial
partnerships premised on jobs creation and skills acquisition.
“Reviving the country’s economy forms a major plank of
Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and the meeting is part of his efforts to
re-establish Nigeria’s importance in the global economic chain and create
empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population.
“The President-elect has hitherto promised to hit the ground
running and the visit is reflective of his commitment to the promise as he has
already begun talks with global actors in the important areas of the economy
and security.”
Before he left the country, Tinubu met with the House of
Representatives candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker endorsed by his
party, the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin
Kalu, who were presented to him by the Joint Task Team of the House.
He is scheduled to return shortly for preparations towards
his official swearing-in as the 16th President of Nigeria on May 29, 2023.
