President Tinubu departs France to London on private visit
By Ismail Abdulaziz
President Bola Tinubu has moved to London after concluding the two-day summit in France on Friday.
A statement by Mr Dele Alake, Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communications & Strategy, said Tinubu would be in London on a private visit.
The president was in Paris for the New Global Financing Pact summit organised by President Emmanuel Macron, which ended on Friday.
Alake said that aside participating in the summit, Tinubu 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.
He said that the summit afforded the president the opportunity of projecting his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition, and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change.
“President Tinubu, who was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja on Saturday, will now proceed to London, United Kingdom, for a short private visit.
“The President will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival,” he said.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
