Just In: Tinubu Travels to Europe to Meet With Investors.

Tinubu left the country via Lagos' Murtala Muhammed International Airport, on Wednesday late afternoon,

According to Tunde Rahman, his media adviser, the president-elect  will “use the opportunity of the trip to finetune the transition plans and programmes, and his policy options with some of his key aides without unnecessary pressures and distractions”.

While in Europe, the president-elect is also expected to meet with investors.

“The country’s economy forms a major plank of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda and the meeting is part of his efforts to re-establish Nigeria’s importance in the global economic chain and create empowering opportunities for the country’s huge youth population,” his media aide said.

“The president-elect has hitherto promised to hit the ground running and the visit is reflective of his commitment to the promise as he has already begun talks with global actors in the important areas of the economy and security.

“Before he left the country, Asíwájú Tinubu met with the House of Representatives candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker endorsed by his party, the All Progressives Congress, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Hon. Benjamin Kalu, who was presented to him by the Joint Task Team of the House.”

Before being sworn in as the nation's 16th president on May 29, Tinubu would travel home, according to Rahman.

Tinubu came home last month (April), after spending one month overseas,

He had gone to France to relax before attending a smaller hajj in Saudi Arabia.
