President Bola Tinubu has departed Paris, France for London, the United Kingdom.
The Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy, Mr Dele Alake, who disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday, said 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, Alake stated, will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.
President Tinubu had on Friday concluded his official trip to Paris, France, during which he had an outstanding participation in the summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Aside his participation at the event where he represented Nigeria well, 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 summit afforded the President the opportunity of projecting, on a global stage, 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.
