Written by SpringsNewsNG Media Limited, April 2, 2025
President Bola Tinubu is set to depart Nigeria on Wednesday for a two-week working visit to Paris, France, where he will take time to review the progress of his administration and strategize for the second half of his term.
According to a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, the visit will serve as a retreat for the President to assess key milestones, evaluate ongoing reforms, and plan for further deepening economic and governance initiatives.
The retreat is expected to provide Tinubu with a valuable opportunity to reflect on his administration’s achievements since assuming office in May 2023. Onanuga explained that this period of reflection would inform the government’s plans to enhance reforms and accelerate national development priorities for the year ahead.
The statement highlighted recent economic gains as a strong indicator of progress. Notably, Nigeria’s net foreign exchange reserves surged from $3.99 billion in 2023 to $23.11 billion, as reported by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This sharp increase is seen as a direct result of the administration’s fiscal and economic reforms.
Though away from the country, the statement assured that President Tinubu would remain fully engaged with governance and continue to work closely with his team remotely. He will maintain oversight of national affairs and actively participate in decision-making processes.
The President is expected to return to Nigeria in two weeks.
