Tinubu Arrives in Kenya for Africa-France Summit

President Bola Tinubu arrived in Nairobi, Kenya, on Monday for the Africa-France summit, which is set to open later that day. His arrival occurred at 12:15 PM local time at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, as announced by the State House media office.

This visit to Kenya is the second leg of a three-nation tour that began with a stop in France. During his time in France, Tinubu met with global investors and pledged Nigeria's commitment to fiscal discipline and economic reform.

The Africa-France summit, co-chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron and Kenyan President William Ruto, is scheduled for May 11-12 and will focus on themes such as energy transition, green industrialization, digital transformation, restructuring global financial architecture, and climate action. Tinubu's participation underscores Nigeria's commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships with African nations.

He is expected to deliver a statement highlighting his administration's ongoing reforms and will hold high-level bilateral meetings with top-tier global and African business leaders. Following the summit, Tinubu will proceed to Kigali, Rwanda, for the annual Africa CEO Forum scheduled for May 14-15, before returning to Nigeria ahead of the APC presidential primary scheduled for May 23.
