President Bola Tinubu is set to travel to France today, as announced by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement on Sunday night. The president will depart from Abuja, the nation’s capital, and will return after a brief work stay in France.
The statement did not specify the purpose of the trip. This announcement follows President Tinubu’s recent directive barring unauthorized government officials from attending the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
The directive, aimed at reducing bloated governance costs, was communicated by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, during a one-day retreat organized by the State House management for heads of agencies under the presidency.
The decision was made to prevent unauthorized officials from traveling for personal interests during such trips.
