President Bola Tinubu, today departing France for London for a “private visit.”

A statement signed by his Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy, Dele Alake, explained that the President who was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja today, will now proceed to London, United Kingdom, for a short, private visit.

The statement revealed that the “President will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.”

On Friday, President Tinubu concluded his official trip to Paris, during which he participated in the summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Aside from his participation at the event, the President also held high-profile sideline meetings with fellow heads of state and government, global business leaders, and chief executives of leading multilateral and development finance institutions from around the world.

The Presidential spokesman noted that the summit afforded the president the opportunity to project on a global stage, his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, and economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition.
