The statement also noted that President Tinubu and his wife, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, will be received on Thursday at the 350-year-old French military museum, Les Invalides, and Palais de l’Élysée by Macron and his spouse, Brigitte, for the initial ceremonies, which will then lead into bilateral meetings.
The statement added that during the visit, President Tinubu and President Macron will harmonize their positions on stimulating greater interest in exchange programs focused on skill development for youth, and improving their competencies in automation, entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership.
Both leaders will also engage in political and diplomatic meetings highlighting shared values on finance, solid minerals, trade and investments, and communication. They will participate in a session hosted by the France-Nigeria Business Council, which oversees private sector participation in economic development.
Brigitte and Nigeria’s First Lady will discuss their shared passion for empowering women, children, and the most vulnerable through the Renewed Hope Initiative.
President Tinubu and his wife will be hosted at a state dinner by the French leader before their departure.
