President Bola Tinubu has departed Abuja for a three-day summit in Paris, France, where he will be joined by his counterparts from across the globe.
Per reports, the President’s official Gulfstream jet left the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 11:30 am on Tuesday.
This is Tinubu’s first foreign trip as Nigeria’s president and he will be hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron in the event taking place at Palais Brongniart, from June 22 to June 23, 2023.
Tinubu will be accompanied on the trip by members of the Presidential Policy Advisory Council and senior government officials.
While there, he will “participate, review and sign a New Global Financial Pact that places vulnerable countries on the priority list for support and investment, following the devastating impact of climate change, energy crisis, and after effect of the COVID-19 pandemic”.
Alongside other world leaders, President Tinubu will holistically look at the recovery of economies from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and rising cases of poverty, with a view to providing access to finance and investment that will leverage inclusive growth.
