President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, for a state visit to France, following an invitation from President Emmanuel Macron.

A statement issued on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, explained that the three-day visit will focus on strengthening political, economic, and cultural relations, as well as establishing more opportunities for partnerships, particularly in agriculture, security, education, health, youth engagement and employment, innovation, and energy transition. The visit promises significant benefits for Nigeria.

The statement also noted that President Tinubu and his wife, Sen. Oluremi 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 the initial ceremonies, which will then lead into bilateral meetings.

The statement added that during the visit, President Tinubu and President Macron will harmonize their positions on stimulating greater interest in exchange programs focused on skill development for youth, and improving their competencies in automation, entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.
