President Bola Tinubu met with French businessman Vincent Bolloré in Paris to explore investment prospects in Nigeria. The meeting, which took place at Bolloré’s Paris office, focused on potential collaborations in media, digital infrastructure, and other sectors. Bolloré, whose company operates in digital and media, expressed interest in supporting Nigeria’s economic growth through strategic investments.

Tinubu’s visit to France also included meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron, during which both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral ties. The discussions highlighted shared goals in trade, technology, and regional stability. Meanwhile, Nigerian political figures have raised concerns over the president’s recent absence from the country, with some accusing him of undermining constitutional procedures by not formally transferring powers to Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Despite these criticisms, Tinubu’s diplomatic engagements in Europe underscore Nigeria’s efforts to attract foreign investment and deepen international partnerships. The government continues to prioritize economic reforms and infrastructure development as key drivers of growth.
