Pres. Tinubu to travel to France on monday

President Bola Tinubu will embark on a trip to France for a “brief work stay”.

This was contained in a terse statement issued on Sunday night by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.

“President Bola Tinubu will embark on a trip to France on Monday, August 19, departing from Abuja, the nation’s capital. The President will return to the country after his brief work stay in France,” the statement said.

However, he did not state the reason for the visit.

Ngelale’s announcement comes after Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Limited, the Chinese firm which dragged Nigeria to international courts, over alleged breach of agreement, announced the release of one of the three Presidential jets seized based on the order of a French court.

Recall that the firm seized a Dassault Falcon 7X, a Boeing 737-7N6/BBJ and an Airbus A330-243 belonging to the federal government of Nigeria, stationed at Paris-Le Bourget and Basel-Mulhouse airports.

This is as a result of a contract that was revoked by the Ogun state government in 2016.

But according to a company spokesperson on Friday, one of the jets was released after they were informed that President Tinubu would need it for a scheduled meeting with France’s president, Emmanuel Macron.
