President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to depart Abuja for France on Monday, August 19, 2024.
Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, confirmed the President’s planned visit in an official statement released on Sunday.
The statement did not disclose the purpose of the visit.
However, he did not state the reason for the visit.
This is coming two days after the Nigerian leader returned to Abuja from the Equatorial Guinea.
Last Wednesday, Tinubu visited the Central African nation for a three-day official visit to honour the invitation of President Teodoro Mbasogo.
The Gulfstream aircraft conveying Tinubu and his key aides touched down at the Saint Isabel Airport, Malabo, at 02:07 pm local time, where he was received by the Equatorial Guinean Prime Minister, Mrs. Manuela Roka Botey.
During his visit, Tinubu and his Equatorial Guinean counterpart held talks and witnessed the signing of agreements, particularly on oil and gas and security.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and other members of his cabinet were involved in the signing of agreements and review of opportunities to improve bilateral relations.
