President Bola Tinubu has left Paris in France for London, the United Kingdom, for a private visit.
This was disclosed via a statement issued on Saturday, June 24, by the Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake.
Tinubu was expected to return to Abuja today (Saturday) after he left the nation’s capital on Tuesday, June 20, for a summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ in Paris, France.
Alake, however, noted that Tinubu has proceeded to London, adding the President would return to Nigeria “in time” for the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
He stated: “President Bola Tinubu 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, President 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 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.
“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.”
