President Bola Tinubu has stated that his lunch meeting with his French counterpart, President Emmanuel Macron, at the Elysee Palace was productive.
Naija News reports that Tinubu visited Macron as part of activities during his working vacation.
In a post via his 𝕏 handle, Tinubu stated that the duo reviewed key areas of cooperation between Nigeria and France.
According to him, they also agreed to deepen their partnership for mutual prosperity and global stability.
He wrote, “Had a productive lunch with President Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron today at the Élysée Palace.
“We reviewed key areas of cooperation between Nigeria and France and agreed to deepen our partnership for mutual prosperity and global stability.”
In other news, the Idoma Area Traditional Council (IATC) has debunked reports claiming it nullified the chieftaincy titles recently conferred on President Tinubu and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, by the Adiharu of Igede, HRH Oga Ero, during the Igede Agba festival in Oju Local Government Area of Benue State.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by its Secretary, Adegbe Uloko, the council described the claims as mischievous and misleading.
The controversy followed the IATC’s earlier embargo on all conferment of chieftaincy titles in its intermediate areas. Despite the order, HRH Oga Ero conferred titles on select personalities during last Saturday’s festivities, sparking disagreements among Idoma and Igede stakeholders.
Clarifying its position, the IATC maintained that Tinubu and Akume’s names were never included in the proposed list of honourees for the event.
