Tinubu to Visit Kenya, Rwanda, and France Next Week

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday for a three-nation trip that includes visits to Kenya, Rwanda, and France. His first stop will be France, where he will co-chair the Africa-France Summit scheduled for May 11-12, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and Kenyan President William Ruto.

The summit will focus on energy transition, green industrialization, digital transformation, restructuring global financial architecture, and climate action, emphasizing Nigeria's commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships with African nations. Following the summit, President Tinubu will travel to Kigali, Rwanda, to attend the annual Africa CEO Forum from May 14-15, which will be the largest gathering of African private sector leaders, investors, and policymakers.

The forum will address economic transformation and cross-border investment. During both events, President Tinubu will deliver statements highlighting his administration's ongoing reforms to position Nigeria as a prime destination for investment growth.

He will be accompanied by ministers and senior aides and is expected to return to Nigeria after the Rwanda summit.
