President Emmanuel Macron Visits Nigeria
Last week, French President Macron embarked on a two-day visit to Nigeria during which he visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential villa in Abuja, had a meeting with 2000 entrepreneurs under the Tony Elumelu Foundation, partied at Fela Kuti’s New Afrika Shrine, and attended the opening of the Alliance Franchise Headquarters in Ikoyi. This wasn’t the President’s first visit to Nigeria as he had interned at the French embassy 15 years ago. Here are some highlights of the events that took place during his two-day trip:Today, President @MBuhari received French President @EmmanuelMacron to the State House, Abuja.
