President Bola Tinubu recently held discussions with Massad Boulos, the Senior Advisor from the United States State Department, during his visit to Paris.
In the Thursday meeting, Tinubu and Boulos addressed key regional security concerns, alongside exploring potential avenues for enhancing economic collaboration across the African continent.
Confirming the meeting, Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, stated: “President Tinubu meets US State Department Senior Advisor, Massad Boulos in Paris.”
Additionally, the US State Department shared via their X handle: “State Department Senior Advisor for Africa Massad Boulos met with President Tinubu on Thursday to discuss regional security including working together with partners to build a durable peace in eastern DRC. They also discussed expanding opportunities for economic cooperation throughout Africa.”
President Tinubu departed Nigeria on April 3 for his working visit to Paris, France. The visit serves as an opportunity for the president to evaluate his administration’s achievements midway through his term and identify critical areas of progress.
The retreat also aims to examine the effectiveness of ongoing reforms and lay strategic groundwork for the approaching second anniversary of his administration.
According to Onanuga, President Tinubu will remain actively involved in governance matters while abroad. “He will return to Nigeria in about a fortnight,” he said.
