Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi
President Bola Tinubu and First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu will leave Abuja on Wednesday, for a three-day state visit to France, following an invitation from President Emmanuel Macron.
According to a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President for Information & Strategy, the discussions during the visit will emphasize enhancing political, economic, and cultural ties while creating more partnership opportunities, especially in sectors like agriculture, security, education, health, youth engagement and employment, innovation, and energy transition.
Channels TV reports that President Tinubu and his wife will be received on Thursday at the 350-year-old French military museum, Les Invalides and Palais de l’Élysée, by Macron and his spouse, Brigitte, for initial ceremonies that will dovetail into bilateral meetings.
“During the visit, President Tinubu and President Macron will harmonise positions on stimulating more interest in exchange programmes that focus on skill development for youths and improving their competencies in automation, entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.
“Both leaders will participate in political and diplomatic meetings highlighting shared values on finance, solid minerals, trade and investments, and communication.
“They will also witness a session by the France-Nigeria Business Council, which oversees private sector participation in economic development.
“Brigitte and Nigeria’s First Lady will discuss the latter’s passion for empowering women, children, and the most vulnerable through the Renewed Hope Initiative,” the statement added.
Onanuga then stated that the duo would be hosted at a state dinner by the French leader before their departure.
He added that top government officials will accompany President Tinubu on the trip.
Onanuga did not, however, name the government officials on the travel list.
