President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart Abuja today for a short working visit to Paris, France, where he will assess his administration’s achievements and strategize for the second half of his tenure.
According to a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Tinubu will use the visit to review key milestones, evaluate ongoing economic and governance reforms, and refine policies to accelerate national development.
This period of reflection will provide an opportunity to refine policies and accelerate national priorities.
A major highlight of his administration’s progress is the remarkable increase in Nigeria’s net foreign exchange reserves.
According to the Central Bank of Nigeria, reserves have surged to $23.11 billion, a significant leap from the $3.99 billion recorded in 2023.
This growth underscores the effectiveness of the government’s fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy.
Despite being away from the country, Tinubu will remain actively engaged with his team, ensuring the smooth continuation of governance.
He is expected to return to Nigeria in about a fortnight.
