President Bola Tinubu met French President Emmanuel Macron for a private working lunch at the Élysée Palace to strengthen bilateral ties.
The two-hour discussion focused on renewable energy, infrastructure, and counter-terrorism cooperation.
Building on Tinubu’s November 2024 state visit, the leaders explored French investments in Nigeria’s solid minerals and agriculture sectors.
The low-key meeting, attended by a small Nigerian delegation, reflects France’s pivot toward English-speaking African nations and Nigeria’s push for foreign investment.
No press conference was held, but outcomes are expected soon. A brief cultural reception followed, highlighting shared goodwill.
