Arrangements have been concluded for President Bola Tinubu to embark on a trip to France on Monday.
A terse statement issued on Sunday night by the presidential media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, noted that the president will be departing for the trip from Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Ngelale explained that the president would return to the country after his brief work stay in France.
The statement was, however, silent on the motive for the president’s trip.
DAILY POST recalls that the president barred unauthorised officials of government from attending the forthcoming United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, in New York, United States.
The presidency had hinged the directive on the need to reduce bloated governance costs, especially as unauthorised officials in the past travelled on the sidelines of such trips for personal interests.
The directive was handed down to officials of government by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajiabiamila, during a one-day retreat organised by State House management for heads of agencies under the presidency.
