President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has departed for London, United Kingdom, for a private visit after attending Global Financial Pact Summit in France.
The president had earlier been scheduled to return back to Abuja on Saturday, June 24, after his outing.
This disclosure is contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake, on Saturday, June 24, where he, however, noted that the president will be back on time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival.
Alake in the statement said the president who represented Nigeria well at the event, 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 from around the world.
He stated that the summit afforded the President the opportunity of projecting, on a global stage, 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.
The statement reads, ‘’President Bola Tinubu on Friday concluded his official trip to Paris, France, during which he had an outstanding participation in a summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
‘’Aside participating in the summit where he represented Nigeria well, President Tinubu 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 from around the world.
