President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart for Paris, France, on Wednesday for a short working visit, according to a statement released by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga.
The visit is expected to serve as an opportunity for the President to appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones achieved since assuming office.
“He will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.”
“This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year,” the statement read.
The working visit comes at a time when Nigeria’s economic stride has seen notable improvements, particularly in the area of foreign exchange reserves.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) recently reported a substantial increase in net foreign exchange reserves, which now stand at $23.11 billion.
This marks a significant improvement from the $3.99 billion recorded in 2023, a testament to the effectiveness of the administration’s fiscal reforms.
While away, Onanuga said President Tinubu will remain actively engaged with his team and will continue to oversee governance activities remotely, ensuring the continuity of national administration.
“He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight,” Onanuga concluded.
