While the specific purpose of the visit was not disclosed, Ngelale stated, “He will return to the country in the first week of February 2024.” This marks Tinubu’s third visit to France since assuming office eight months ago.

On June 20, 2023, just three weeks into his presidency, Tinubu initiated his foreign engagements in Paris, where he participated in the Paris Summit for the New Global Financial Pact. The summit aimed to “review and sign a New Global Financial Pact that places vulnerable countries on the priority list for support and investment, following the devastating impact of climate change, energy crisis, and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic,” as indicated in a statement by then-Special Adviser, Special Duties, Communication, and Strategy, Dele Alake.

In September 2023, President Tinubu spent nine days in New York, USA, attending the 78th United Nations General Assembly, his inaugural UNGA as President. Following this, he extended his visit to Paris, France, for an additional five days, returning to Abuja on September 29 ahead of Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Day anniversary on October 1.
