Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President-elect of Nigeria, has departed for Europe on a working trip.
According to his spokesman, Tunde Rahman, Tinubu will use the visit to meet with key aides and fine-tune transition plans and programmes without any distractions.
The President-elect will also meet with investors and other key allies with the aim of marketing investment opportunities in Nigeria and creating a business-friendly climate through policies and regulations.
Rahman noted that Tinubu hopes to convince investors of Nigeria’s readiness to do business under his leadership through mutually-beneficial partnerships.
The President-elect’s Renewed Hope agenda focuses on reviving the country’s economy and creating opportunities for the youth population.
Meetings have been scheduled with multi-sectoral actors in Europe’s business community, including manufacturing, agriculture, tech, and energy.
Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria soon for preparations towards his official swearing-in as the 16th President of the country on Monday, May 29.
