PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has left Paris, France, for London, United Kingdom (UK) at the end of the two-day New Global Financing Pact Summit in Paris, organised by President Emmanuel Macron, which ended on Friday, June 23, 2023.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Mr. Dele Alake, the President would be in London on a private visit.
The President had, aside participating in the Summit, 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.
Alake stated that the Summit afforded Tinubu the opportunity of projecting 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.
“Tinubu, who was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja on Saturday, will now proceed to London for a short private visit.
“The President will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival,” he said.
