Tinubu embarks on working visit to Paris
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrived in Paris, France yesterday on a two-week working visit.
During the period he will evaluate his administration’s progress and outline strategies for the second half of his tenure.
The President will clock two years in office next month.
He is expected to review his team to assess his cabinet members with a view to dropping those who have failed to meet up with expectations.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement said: ‘’During the visit, the President will review key milestones achieved since taking office, assess the impact of ongoing economic and governance reforms, and engage in strategic planning for the nation’s development in the coming year.
’This period of reflection will provide an opportunity to refine policies and accelerate national priorities.’’
Onanuga added that a major highlight of the Tinubu administration’s ‘’progress is the remarkable increase in Nigeria’s net foreign exchange reserves.’’
According to the Central Bank of Nigeria, reserves have surged to $23.11 billion, a significant leap from the $3.99 billion recorded in 2023.
The growth, according to Onanuga, underscores the effectiveness of the government’s fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising the economy.
He added that the President would ‘’remain actively engaged with his team, ensuring the smooth continuation of governance.’’
