President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja for Paris, France, on Wednesday for a focused working visit aimed at evaluating his administration’s progress and refining its reform agenda.
In a statement released by Presidential Spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the trip will serve as a strategic retreat for Tinubu to assess mid-term achievements, review the implementation of ongoing reforms, and finalize plans to accelerate national development priorities ahead of his government’s second anniversary in May 2024.
“The President will use this period to holistically analyze key milestones and strategize measures to deepen transformative policies in the coming year,” Onanuga stated. He emphasized that the visit underscores Tinubu’s commitment to data-driven governance and long-term economic stability.
The administration’s reforms have yielded notable results, including a surge in Nigeria’s net foreign exchange reserves, which rose from 3.99billionin2023to3.99billionin2023to23.11 billion as of April 2025, according to Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) data. This growth reflects strengthened fiscal discipline and investor confidence under Tinubu’s leadership.
Despite his absence, the President will maintain oversight of government operations, collaborating closely with cabinet members and officials. He is expected to return to Nigeria within two weeks, concluding what the presidency describes as a “critical phase of reflective governance.”
The trip aligns with Tinubu’s pledge to prioritize transparency and accountability, leveraging international engagements to bolster domestic agendas while ensuring continuity in service delivery.
