President Tinubu Embarks on France, Kenya, Rwanda Tour for Key Global Summits

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday, May 2, for official visits to France, Kenya, and Rwanda, where he is scheduled to participate in high-level international engagements focused on economic growth, investment, and development.

According to a statement by the Presidency, the President’s first stop will be France before proceeding to Nairobi, Kenya, to attend the Africa-France Summit slated for May 11–12.

The summit, co-chaired by Emmanuel Macron and William Ruto, will focus on critical issues including energy transition, green industrialisation, digital transformation, global financial reforms, and climate action.

With the theme “Africa Forward: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth,” the summit is expected to bring together African and French leaders to deliberate on economic transformation, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, technological advancement, and peace-building across the continent.

Following the Kenya engagement, President Tinubu will travel to Kigali, Rwanda, to participate in the Africa CEO Forum scheduled for May 14–15.

The forum, themed “Scale or Fail,” is regarded as one of the continent’s largest gatherings of private sector leaders, investors, and policymakers. Held in partnership with the International Finance Corporation, it will convene over 2,000 participants to explore strategies for accelerating economic transformation through regional integration and cross-border investments.

At both events, President Tinubu is expected to present Nigeria’s ongoing economic reforms aimed at positioning the country as a leading destination for investment and sustainable growth. He will also hold bilateral meetings with global and African business leaders.

The President will be accompanied by senior government officials and is expected to return to Nigeria after concluding his engagements in Rwanda.
