President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday for official visits to France, Kenya, and Rwanda.
According to a statement issued on Friday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the trip will begin with a stop in France before proceeding to Nairobi, Kenya.
In Kenya, President Tinubu is expected to attend the Africa-France Summit, which is being co-chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron and Kenyan President William Ruto.
The summit, scheduled for May 11 and 12 in Nairobi, will focus on key continental issues including energy transition, digital transformation, and climate action.
“President Tinubu’s participation at the summit will underscore Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships with African nations and the French Republic,” the statement said.
Following the Kenya engagement, the President will proceed to Kigali, Rwanda, for the Africa CEO Forum scheduled for May 14 and 15.
The forum, organised in partnership with the International Finance Corporation, will bring together leading business executives and policymakers to discuss investment opportunities and economic growth across Africa.
“At the two summits, President Tinubu will deliver statements highlighting his administration’s ongoing reforms aimed at repositioning Nigeria as a prime destination for investment and growth,” the statement added.
“He will also hold high-level meetings with top global and African business leaders,” it said.
The President will be accompanied by some ministers and senior government officials.
He is expected to return to Nigeria after his engagements in Rwanda.
