Today, Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu, left for Europe on a working visit.
Without distractions, Tinubu will fine-tune the transition plans, programs, and policy options with some of his key aides while in Europe.
During his visit, the President-elect will meet with investors and other key allies to promote investment opportunities in the country as well as his administration’s readiness to create a business-friendly environment through policies and regulations.
Tunde Rahman, his Media Aide, said in a statement:
“Already, meetings with multi-sectoral actors in Europe’s business community including manufacturing, agriculture, tech and energy have been lined up.
“Asíwájú Tinubu hopes to convince them of Nigeria’s readiness to do business under his leadership through mutually-beneficial partnerships premised on jobs creation and skills acquisition.

“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 and create empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population.
“The President-elect has hitherto promised to hit the ground running and the visit is reflective of his commitment to the promise as he has already begun talks with global actors in the important areas of the economy and security.”
Tinubu met with the House of Representatives candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker endorsed by his party, the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu, who were presented to him by the Joint Task Team of the House, before leaving the country.
He is expected to return soon to begin preparations for his official inauguration as Nigeria’s 16th President on May 29, 2023.
