According to the statement, the visit will see Tinubu participate in high-level global summits focused on economic transformation, climate action, and investment partnerships across Africa.
President Tinubu is expected to attend the Africa-France Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, where discussions will centre on key development priorities.
The summit, themed “Africa Forward: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth,” will bring together African and French leaders to deliberate on issues including energy transition, infrastructure, climate resilience, and digital transformation.
It will also serve as a platform to strengthen collaboration on economic and technological development.
Following the Kenya summit, the President will proceed to Kigali, Rwanda, to participate in the Africa CEO Forum scheduled for May 14–15.
During both engagements, President Tinubu is expected to present Nigeria’s reform agenda and highlight opportunities for investment, while also holding bilateral meetings with global and African business leaders.
He will be accompanied by senior government officials and is expected to return to Nigeria after the Rwanda engagement.
The trip follows President Tinubu’s recent State Visit to the United Kingdom in March, which resulted in key investment agreements.
These outcomes underscore Nigeria’s ongoing push to attract foreign investment and strengthen international economic partnerships.
