President Bola Tinubu will visit France on November 28-29, 2024, marking the first state visit by a Nigerian leader since 2000. This meeting aims to enhance Franco-Nigerian cooperation in key areas such as energy, defense, education, and innovation.
Relations between the two nations have deepened in recent years, as reflected in the growing French economic presence in Nigeria. In 2023, trade between France and Nigeria reached nearly 5 billion euros, highlighting a dynamic and expanding economic relationship.
A Franco-Nigerian Business Council is expected to foster new economic partnerships, with youth and cultural exchanges also playing a central role in the discussions.
