Tinubu's Back-to-Back Foreign Trips: France Visit Comes After Equatorial Guinea Tour

By Emmanuel Kwada

The Presidency has announced that President Bola Tinubu will embark on a trip to France on Monday, August 19, for a “brief work stay.”

This announcement comes three days after a Chinese firm, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Limited, revealed the trip.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed the trip in a statement on Sunday, stating that Tinubu would return to the country after his stay in France. However, the reason for the visit was not specified.

Interestingly, the Chinese firm had earlier announced the release of one of the three Presidential jets seized due to a legal dispute with Nigeria.

The firm stated that they lifted the seizure of the Airbus A330 as a gesture of goodwill, allowing it to be used for Tinubu’s trip to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron.

This trip marks Tinubu’s second overseas journey in a week, following his recent three-day official visit to Equatorial Guinea.
