ASHENEWS reports that President Bola Tinubu has taken off to London after his official visit to France where he participated at the summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
A statement by the Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications & Strategy, Dele Alake on Saturday, said Tinubu, who concluded his official trip to Paris on Friday, was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja on Saturday, but will now proceed to London, United Kingdom, for a short private visit.
Aside participating in the summit where he represented Nigeria well, President Tinubu also held high-profile sideline meetings with fellow heads of state and government, global business leaders and chief executives of leading multilateral and development finance institutions from around the world.
The summit afforded the President the opportunity of projecting, on a global stage, his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition, and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change.
The President will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.
