President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after concluding official visits to France and South Africa, where he co-chaired the 11th Bi-National Commission in Cape Town.
Henzodaily reports that the president’s plane landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at approximately 9:10 pm on Wednesday.
Tinubu’s trip commenced last Wednesday with a state visit to France, following an invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron.
The visit aimed to strengthen ties in key areas such as agriculture, security, education, health, youth development, employment, innovation, and energy transition.
After a three-day engagement in France, Tinubu traveled to South Africa on Monday to co-chair the Nigeria-South Africa Bi-National Commission with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
During the session, Tinubu called for enhanced collaboration between the two nations. He praised South African companies, including MTN and MultiChoice, for their contributions to Nigeria’s economy, while also commending Nigerian firms such as the Dangote Group and Access Bank for their successes in South Africa.
