President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has departed for Paris, France, for a sober reflection on his administration’s performance ahead of the second anniversary celebration.
A statement by the presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga confirmed this saying, “During the visit, the President will appraise his administration’s midterm performance and assess key milestones.
“He will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.
“This period of reflection will inform plans to deepen ongoing reforms and accelerate national development priorities in the coming year.”
Onanuga cited recent economic strides which he noted reinforced the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion—a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99 billion.
He further explained that while away, President Tinubu would remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities.
The President is expected to return to Nigeria in about a fortnight.
