President Bola Tinubu will depart Nigeria on Wednesday for a two-week working visit to Paris, France, where he is expected to review his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key policy milestones.

The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement titled “President Tinubu to Embark on Working Visit to Paris.”

According to the statement, Tinubu will use the retreat to evaluate the progress of ongoing economic and governance reforms while engaging in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary in May 2025. The presidency stated that this period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year.

The statement also highlighted recent economic strides, citing the Central Bank of Nigeria’s report that net foreign exchange reserves have surged to $23.11 billion, a significant increase from $3.99 billion in 2023. The presidency attributed this growth to Tinubu’s fiscal and monetary reforms, which have been aimed at stabilizing the economy and attracting foreign investments.

Despite his time away, the president will remain fully engaged with his team and will continue to oversee governance activities remotely. The statement concluded that he will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight.
