President Bola Tinubu will on Saturday, May 2, depart Abuja for a three-nation visit to France, Kenya, and Rwanda, where he is expected to participate in high-level international economic and investment forums.

According to a State House statement by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President’s trip will begin with a stop in France before proceeding to Nairobi, Kenya, for the Africa-France Summit scheduled for May 11–12.

The summit, co-chaired by French President and Kenyan President , will focus on key development priorities including energy transition, green industrialisation, digital transformation, climate action, and reforms to the global financial system.

With the theme “Africa Forward: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth,” the meeting is expected to bring together African and French leaders to discuss economic transformation, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and peace-building initiatives.

After the Nairobi engagement, President Tinubu will travel to Kigali, Rwanda, to attend the Africa CEO Forum holding May 14–15. The forum, themed “Scale or Fail,” is expected to gather over 2,000 business leaders, investors, and policymakers to explore strategies for accelerating Africa’s economic growth through regional integration and expanded cross-border investment. It is organised in partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

During both events, President Tinubu is expected to present Nigeria’s ongoing economic reforms and engage global investors and business leaders in high-level meetings aimed at strengthening investment inflows.

He will be accompanied by selected ministers and senior government officials and is expected to return to Nigeria after the Rwanda engagements.
