“You stirred my excitement and caught my attention as a leader. Thank you.

“France went through a lot to put freedom, democracy and commitment together.

“Your effort is very inspiring for us to work together. We have no choice but to build a continent that connects, resonates for its people, and cares about the people and development,” President Tinubu said.

He thanked the French leader and his wife, Brigitte, for the State Visit and the three-day reception.

“In addition to the economic prospects and what you mean to Europe, to America and the African continent, there is a good prospect that you will not forget who we are.

“You open your doors for investment for our friends and brothers here. I could see Aliko Dangote, Aig Imoukhuede, and Tony Elumelu here.

“You have memories of your friends in Nigeria. You asked for Mike Adenuga earlier today. Thank you,” he added.

President Tinubu noted that the future remained bright for better relations with France.

“It is a good time for all of us. I cannot be prouder than I am to be President of Nigeria at this challenging time.

” I have people who are very clearly inspired, who are determined to change the course of Africa by changing the rot of the past, blending a future that our children and grandchildren can hold, and be open, and be proud,” the President said.

President Tinubu stated that the reforms in Nigeria would improve Africa’s economic prospects.

“Regarding Nigeria’s economy, as you have said, we have embarked on a very strong reform, and there is no looking back.

” It is in the interest of the entire continent that we don’t continue in the past. We must brace up for the future with commitment and optimism. And with the courage of our founding fathers.

“President Macron, all your efforts about Africa, I promise you shall not be in vain,” he said.

In his remarks, President Macron acknowledged Nigeria’s leadership in Africa, recognizing its role as a ‘big brother’ to the continent.

He praised Nigerians for their resilience and intellect, mentioning Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka and musician Femi Kuti as global figures.

“Nigeria is a formidable country with talented young people. Many Nigerians are exceptional in their chosen careers.

“You conquered military rule and took your liberty. President Tinubu transformed the economy in Lagos, and now you are on a mission to transform the country,” he added.

Macron noted that French investors have long been active in Nigeria, particularly in oil, gas, construction, and food security.

He also highlighted opportunities in solid minerals, emerging technologies, and the film industry.

“Nigeria and France will continue to lead together, forging a path forward,” President Macron concluded. (vitalnewsngr.com)
