President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Wednesday (today) for a three-day state visit to France.
A statement issued by the Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s special
adviser on information and strategy, said the visit is at the behest of
President Emmanuel Macron.
“The Nigerian leader’s three-day visit, which will focus on
strengthening political, economic, and cultural relations and establishing more
opportunities for partnership, particularly in agriculture, security,
education, health, youth engagement and employment, innovation, and energy
transition, promises significant benefits for Nigeria,” he said.
Onanuga said Tinubu and Macron will harmonise positions on
stimulating more interest in exchange programmes that focus on skill
development for youths and improving their competencies in automation,
entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.
“Both leaders will participate in political and diplomatic
meetings highlighting shared values on finance, solid minerals, trade and
investments, and communication,” he added.
“They will also witness a session by the France-Nigeria
Business Council, which oversees private sector participation in economic
development.”
The presidential adviser noted that the Nigerian first lady
and her French counterpart will discuss solutions for empowering women,
children, and the most vulnerable through the Renewed Hope initiative.
Top government officials are expected to accompany the
president on the trip.
