President Bola Tinubu has moved to London after concluding the two-day summit in France on Friday.
A statement by Mr Dele Alake, Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communications & Strategy, said Tinubu would be in London on a private visit.
The president was in Paris for the New Global Financing Pact summit organised by President Emmanuel Macron, which ended on Friday.
Alake said that aside participating in the summit, Tinubu also held high-profile sideline meetings with fellow heads of state and government, global business leaders and chief executives of leading multilateral and development finance institutions.
He said that the summit afforded the president the opportunity of projecting his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition, and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change.
“President Tinubu, who was initially scheduled to be back in Abuja on Saturday, will now proceed to London, United Kingdom, for a short private visit.
“The President will be back in the country in time for the upcoming Eid-el-Kabir festival,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Asiwaju Farmers’ Forum, Sokoto State chapter has lauded the recent appointments made by President Bola Tinubu.
The chapter, in a statement by its Chairman, Mr Mubarak Hassan, issued to newsmen in Sokoto on Saturday affirmed that the president was on the right track.
“It is evidently clear that the people recently appointed by our able president are generally identified with reputable characters.
“We are highly confident that their emergence indicated the true desire of the president toward ensuring the best Nigeria we dream of.
“On our part, we congratulate Tinubu for his foresight and keeping to his words by choosing the right people that will make our country greater,” Hassan said.
He urged Tinubu to ensure to include more youths and women for them to benefit from the desired dividends of democracy.
“For record Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara States are the extreme North Western parts of the country that require more inclusion,” Hassan said.
