President Bola Tinubu has met with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, in Paris.

The meeting, held during a private dinner at the Elysee Palace, focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation between Nigeria and France.

President Tinubu embarked on a three-week working vacation in Europe on August 30, as part of his annual leave.

He is expected to return to Nigeria at the end of the vacation, where the Presidency says he will join what it describes as a hectic campaign ahead of the January 2027 general elections.

Campaign activities for the elections began in August, with political parties stepping up their engagements and preparations ahead of the polls.
