President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday returned to Abuja from Lagos, 13 days after he left the nation’s capital to attend the Summit on New Global Financing Pact in Paris, the capital of France.
The President had returned to Lagos last Tuesday to observe the Eid-el-Kabir festival in his home at Ikoyi.
In the course of attending the summit, he had held diplomatic meetings on the sidelines of the main event.
While he was in Paris, President Tinubu met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée; Swiss President Alain Berset at Palais Brongniart; Benin Republic President Patrice Talon; Director General of World Trade Organisation (WTO), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; and President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina.
He also met the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the African Export-Import Bank (Afrexim), Prof. Benedict Oramah, and President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Odile Renaud–Basso.
President Tinubu left Paris for London, the United Kingdom (UK), on Saturday, June 24, on a private visit.
He also met with former President Muhammadu Buhari while in London.
Back in Lagos, apart from joining other Nigerians in celebrating the Eid-el-Kabir, the President also hosted the President of Guinea-Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embalo.
He landed at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja around 2:30 p.m.
