According to **ThisDay**, President Bola Tinubu has commenced a strategic two-week diplomatic tour that will take him to France, Kenya, and Rwanda. The tour begins with the Africa-France Summit, where the President is expected to discuss global financing architecture and energy transition with European and African counterparts.
Following the engagements in Paris and Nairobi, the President will head to Kigali for the Africa CEO Forum. These visits are intended to strengthen bilateral ties and pitch Nigeria as the primary destination for private sector investment and digital transformation on the continent.
Validation: **Daily Post** confirmed the trip, reporting that “Tinubu to visit France, Kenya, Rwanda for summits.” **Premium Times** also covered the departure, noting that the “President begins two-week long three-nation trip today” to engage with global business leaders.
**Echotitbits take:** This is a “sales mission” for the Nigerian economy. The Kigali leg is particularly important for the tech and diaspora sectors, as the Africa CEO Forum is where the continent’s biggest deals are often brokered.
