President Bola Tinubu, alongside his wife Oluremi, left for France on Wednesday, November 27, 2024 for a three-day visit.
This makes it fourth trip to the European country in 2024 alone by Mr Tinubu who was a governor of Lagos State.
Tinubu’s special adviser on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the trip was a state visit in honour of an invitation from Emmanuel Macron, President of France.
While Tinubu has visited France four times in one year, the last time Macron travelled to Nigeria was in July 2018.
Tinubu’s first visit to France was on January 24 when he travelled to Paris for a private visit and returned to Nigeria in the first week of February.
He travelled to France again on August 19 for what was described as “a brief work stay”.
When Tinubu went to the United Kingdom in October for a two-week vacation, which was part of his annual leave, he visited France. The president’s aides stated that he would attend an important engagement there.
