President Bola Tinubu held a working private lunch with his French counterpart, President Emmanuel Macron, at the Elysee Palace.
Photos from the event were shared on Wednesday by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, via his 𝕏 account.
He wrote, “President Bola Tinubu, with his French counterpart, President Emmanuel Macron, during a working private lunch at the Elysee Palace, Paris. Wednesday, September 10, 2025.”
Recall President Bola Tinubu, last Thursday, departed the shores of Nigeria for France as he commenced his annual leave.
The President was seen off from the airport by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, Governor Hope Uzodimma, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu and others.
As earlier reported by Naija News, President Tinubu is embarking on a working vacation in Europe.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has officially published Nigeria’s new tax reform laws in the government gazette, signalling what it described as a historic overhaul of the nation’s fiscal framework.
Naija News reports that the reforms, which were signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on June 26, 2025, introduce new structures for taxation, administration, and revenue collection.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by the Personal Assistant on Special Duties to the President, Kamorudeen Yusuf, the new fiscal regime is anchored on four legislations:
Nigeria Tax Act (NTA), 2025
Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA), 2025
Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act (NRSEA), 2025
Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act (JRBEA), 2025
“These reforms aim to simplify Nigeria’s tax system, support small businesses, attract investment, and strengthen fiscal stability, aligning with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to diversify revenue away from oil,” the statement said.
