President Bola Tinubu will embark on a state visit to France on Wednesday, the presidency has said.
The visit is in honour of an invitation from President Emmanuel Macron.
Disclosing this in a statement on Tuesday, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Tinubu will “be received on Thursday at the 350-year-old French military museum, Les Invalides and Palais de l’Élysée, by Macron and his spouse, Brigitte, for initial ceremonies that will dovetail into bilateral meetings.”
“The Nigerian leader’s three-day visit, which will focus on strengthening political, economic, and cultural relations and establishing more opportunities for partnership, particularly in agriculture, security, education, health, youth engagement and employment, innovation, and energy transition, promises significant benefits for Nigeria,” the statement read.
