President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday for a strategic three-nation tour covering France, Kenya, and Rwanda.
The trip kicks off in France before moving to Nairobi, where Tinubu will join global leaders at the Africa-France Summit, co-chaired by Emmanuel Macron and William Ruto.
Slated for May 11–12, the summit—tagged “Africa Forward: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth”—will spotlight critical issues including energy transition, green industrialisation, digital transformation, climate action, infrastructure, youth empowerment, and peace-building.
Presidency sources say the visit underscores Nigeria’s push to deepen international partnerships, attract investment, and position the country at the forefront of Africa’s economic and technological transformation.
