Photos: Moment French President Macron Welcomed Tinubu

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu and the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, were on Thursday welcomed by French President, Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte.

Tinubu and his wife, who are on an official state visit, arrived Paris, France on Wednesday.

They were received by Top Government officials in the Government of France and the Republican Guard.

Tinubu and Emmanuel Macron visited the historic Foyer of the National Des Invalides, a military museum, for a military parade honouring the visiting President of Nigeria.

This is the first official state visit by a Nigerian leader in more than two decades.

National anthems of both Nigeria and France were played to mark the official kick off of  activities scheduled for the visit.

Both leaders are seeking increased economic cooperation.

This comes at a time Paris is seeking to boost ties with English-speaking African nations, following growing frosty relationship with its former allies on the continent.
