President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to join world leaders in Paris, France, on Thursday, June 22, to review and sign a New Global Financial Pact. The pact aims to prioritize support and investment in vulnerable countries affected by climate change, the energy crisis, and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement by his special adviser on special duties, communication, and strategy, Dele Alake, it was revealed that the president will participate in the two-day summit (June 22 and 23). The summit will focus on restoring fiscal space to countries facing short-term financial challenges, mobilizing innovative financing for countries vulnerable to climate change, fostering development in low-income countries, and promoting investment in green infrastructure for the energy transition in emerging and developing economies.
President Tinubu and other global leaders, multilateral institutions, financial experts, and economists will adopt a comprehensive approach to address the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing levels of poverty. The summit aims to provide access to finance and investment that will drive inclusive growth.
The summit, hosted by President Emmanuel Macron of France, will take place at Palais Brongniart. President Tinubu will be accompanied by members of the Presidential Policy Advisory Council and senior government officials. He is expected to return to Abuja on Saturday.
