President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to travel to Paris, France, today for a short working visit aimed at assessing his administration’s progress and planning for the future. The visit comes as his government approaches its second anniversary, providing an opportunity to evaluate ongoing reforms and set new development priorities.
A statement from the presidency indicated that the retreat will focus on reviewing key milestones achieved since Tinubu took office and identifying areas for improvement. “This period of reflection will allow the President to deepen ongoing reforms and fast-track national development efforts,” the statement noted.
One of the highlights of his administration’s economic policies has been the significant increase in Nigeria’s net foreign exchange reserves. Recent data from the Central Bank of Nigeria shows that net reserves have surged to $23.11 billion, a remarkable improvement from $3.99 billion in 2023. This growth underscores the impact of Tinubu’s fiscal and monetary policies aimed at stabilizing the economy and attracting foreign investment.
Despite being away, President Tinubu will remain actively engaged in governance and continue to oversee national affairs. His visit to Paris is expected to strengthen his administration’s strategies for economic transformation and policy implementation.
The President is scheduled to return to Nigeria in about two weeks.
