French President Emmanuel Macron has commended Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, describing him as a leader on a mission to transform Nigeria, much like his achievements as the former governor of Lagos State.
Waffi TV reports that Tinubu arrived in France on Wednesday evening for a state visit.
During a dinner in Paris on Thursday, Macron praised Tinubu’s leadership, stating he had “conquered military rule,” as noted in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
“Nigeria is a formidable country with talented young people. Many Nigerians are exceptional in their chosen careers,” he said.
Responding, Tinubu said it is inspiring that France, led by Macron, wants to work with Nigeria.
Tinubu reiterated that Nigeria would have better relations with France.
He said, “Regarding Nigeria’s economy, as you have said, we have embarked on a very strong reform, and there is no looking back
“It is in the interest of the entire continent that we don’t continue in the past. We must brace up for the future with commitment and optimism. And with the courage of our founding fathers.
“President Macron, all your efforts about Africa, I promise you shall not be in vain.
“You open your doors for investment for our friends and brothers here. I could see Aliko Dangote, Aig Imoukhuede, and Tony Elumelu here. You have memories of your friends in Nigeria. You asked for Mike Adenuga earlier today. Thank you.”
