Tinubu jets out to Europe

President-elect Bola Tinubu has left Nigeria for Europe on a working visit.

According to a statement by his media aide Tunde Rahman, he will use the opportunity of the trip to finetune the transition plans and programmes, and his policy options with some of his key aides.

During the visit, the President-elect will engage with investors and other key allies with the goal of marketing investment opportunities and his administration’s readiness to enable a business-friendly climate through policies and regulations in the country.

The statement further stated that reviving the country’s economy forms a major plank of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and the meeting is part of his efforts to re-establish Nigeria’s importance in the global economic chain as well as create empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population.

He is scheduled to return shortly for preparations towards his official swearing in as the 16th President of the country on May 29, 2023.
