365Daily – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has departed Nigeria for a short working visit to Paris, where he will assess his administration’s midterm performance and review key reforms ahead of his second anniversary in office.
According to a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, the visit will serve as a period of retreat to reflect on, define ongoing policies and set priorities for the coming year.
“The President will appraise his administration’s midterm performance and assess key milestones,” Onanuga said. “He will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning.”
The statement further emphasised the economic strides recorded under Tinubu’s leadership, particularly in foreign exchange reserves.
“Recent economic strides reinforce the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion—a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99 billion,” it stated.
While in Paris, Tinubu will remain actively engaged with his team and continue overseeing governance.
“He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight,” Onanuga added.
