From Victor Osula, Abuja
President Bola Tinubu is set to depart Abuja on Wednesday for a short working visit to Paris, France, where he will assess his administration’s mid-term performance and review key policy milestones.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, noted that Tinubu will use the retreat to evaluate the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.
“This period of reflection will help shape plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year,” Onanuga stated.
The visit comes on the heels of notable economic strides, with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion— a sharp rise from the $3.99 billion recorded in 2023. The development underscores the administration’s fiscal reforms and policy direction.
While in Paris, Tinubu is expected to remain actively engaged with his team and oversee governance remotely. He is scheduled to return to Nigeria in about two weeks.
