French government is eager to partner with our country so that we can build on and sustain on President Tinubu’s reform that is now showing signs of positivity
The French Republic and the Federal Government have both expressed their commitment to expanding their collaboration in order to improve economic prosperity for both countries.
This statement was made by Alhaji Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, on Friday in Abuja, during a courtesy visit that was paid by Mr. Marc Fonbaustier, the Ambassador of France to Nigeria.
Idris praised Fonbaustier for his tireless work in ensuring that President Bola Tinubu and his entourage had a state visit to France in 2024 that went extremely smoothly.
The committed efforts that Fonbaustier made to ensure that President Bola Tinubu and his entourage had a successful state visit to France in 2024 were praised by Idris.
Alhaji Idris stated, “I have also seen you work in this country within a very short time that you have been here, cementing the bond of relationship that exists between France and Nigeria.
“And today, we can say that France is a very important partner to our country.
“Not many African Heads of State or Governments were extended that kind of friendship by President Emmanuel Macron during our state visit to your country.
“They are fulfilled, there must be some strong bond that exists between these two countries that all of us need to deepen so that together we can make the world a better place.
“Now, let me say that during that visit, a number of Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) were signed between your country and Nigeria.
“Our desires and needs as a ministry to deliver on our mandate require that we also come under that MOU so that together we can forge a strong unity that will help us to deliver more efficiently and effectively on the mandate of President Tinubu.
“I know that the French government is eager to partner with our country so that we can build on and sustain on President Tinubu’s reform that is now showing signs of positivity.”
