Tinubu Seeks Stronger Nigeria-France Ties in Meeting with Macron
President Bola Tinubu, during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palais des L’Élysée on November 28, reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to enhancing cooperation in critical sectors such as food security, energy, solid minerals, education, and defense.
Tinubu highlighted the importance of private-sector participation in addressing food security and positioned Nigeria’s evolving financial sector as a key driver for attracting French investments.
He emphasized the need to develop youth-focused training programs, encouraging France to collaborate in equipping Nigerian youths with entrepreneurial and developmental skills.
Tinubu also spotlighted the untapped potential of Nigeria’s solid minerals and blue economy, particularly in fisheries, as lucrative areas for investment.
On security, he stressed the importance of collective responsibility to combat terrorism and foster regional stability, assuring that Nigeria remains a reliable partner in progress.
President Macron praised Tinubu’s visionary leadership, emphasizing the shared goal of fostering stronger bilateral relations.
He pledged to encourage French investments in Nigeria’s solid minerals sector and strengthen partnerships across various industries, underscoring Nigeria’s vital role in driving regional and global progress.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
