TINUBU TO ATTEND GLOBAL SUMMIT IN PARIS
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected to depart Nigeria for Paris, France on Tuesday, where he would meet with other world leaders on Thursday, to review and sign a New Global Financial Pact that places vulnerable countries on priority list for support and investment, following devastating impact of climate change, energy crisis, and after effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was disclosed via a statement issued by Dele Alake, Special Adviser to the President on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy.
According to the statement, the two-day Summit, which takes place on June 22 and 23, looks at opportunities to restore fiscal space to countries that face difficult short-term financial challenges, especially the most indebted; mobilize innovative financing for countries vulnerable to climate change; foster development in low-income countries, and encourage investment in “green” infrastructure for the energy transition in emerging and developing economies.
The World leaders, multilateral institutions, financial experts and economists will take a more holistic look at the recovery of economies from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, and rising cases of poverty, with a view to providing access to finance and investment that will leverage inclusive growth.
The Summit, which will be hosted by President Emmanuel Macron of France, will be held at Palais Brongniart.
The President will be accompanied by members of the Presidential Policy Advisory Council and senior government officials. He will return to Abuja on Saturday.
