Just In: Tinubu leaves Abuja for Paris
President Bola Tinubu left Abuja for Paris to join his counterparts around the world at the Paris Summit for the New Global Financial Deal.
Tinubu's official Gulfstream aircraft departed the Presidential Wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday for his first overseas trip as President.
The two-day summit, which will be hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, will be held at the Palais Brongniart, June 22-23, 2023.
While in Paris, the President will “attend, review and sign a new global financial compact that puts vulnerable countries on the priority list for support and investment, following the devastating impact of climate change, of the energy crisis and after the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic,” a statement signed by Special Advisor, Special Functions, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake, read on Monday.
Leaders will consider options for restoring fiscal space to countries facing difficult near-term financial challenges, particularly those with the highest debt; mobilize innovative financing for countries vulnerable to climate change; foster development in low-income countries and encourage investment in "green" infrastructure for the energy transition in emerging and developing economies.
According to Alake, President Tinubu and other world leaders, multilateral institutions, financial experts and economists will take a more comprehensive look at the recovery of economies from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and rising poverty, with a view to providing access to finance and investment that will leverage inclusive growth.
Tinubu, who returns on Saturday, will be joined by members of the Presidential Policy Advisory Council and senior government officials.
