President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be making his first international trip on Thursday, June 22, after his inauguration as he joins world leaders in Paris, France, to review and sign a New Global Financial Pact that places vulnerable countries on a priority list for support and investment.

This meeting is targeted at redressing the devastating impacts of climate change, energy crisis, and after effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

President Tinubu will participate in the two-day Summit, June 22 and 23, that will explore opportunities to restore fiscal space to countries that face difficult short-term financial challenges, especially the most indebted.

The forum is also aimed at mobilizing innovative financing for countries vulnerable to climate change; foster development in low-income countries, and encourage investment in “green” infrastructure for the energy transition in emerging and developing economies.
