Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola has said he remains proud of President Bola Tinubu over what he called the president’s “bold and forward-thinking reforms”.
Otedola, chairman of First Holdings, shared a photo of himself with Tinubu on Instagram on Tuesday. He said they had a private dinner in Paris, France, on Monday night.
He said Tinubu’s reforms had placed the Nigerian economy “firmly on a path of sustainable growth”.
Otedola added, “The results are increasingly evident top Nigerian companies now included on the FTSE Russell Frontier 50 Index, the NGX at historic highs, increased foreign direct investment and renewed economic confidence, a unified and more stable foreign exchange market, foreign reserves standing strong at about $55 billion, and so much more.”
“I remain proud of you, Mr. President!” he added.
Tinubu is expected back in Nigeria on Tuesday after a four-week leave that started on August 30, when he left Abuja for London.
After about a week in London, he travelled to Paris for meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Vincent Bolloré, whose interests include Canal+, MultiChoice and Universal Music Group.
According to his aides, Tinubu will arrive in Lagos on Tuesday and mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary on October 1 before returning to Abuja at the weekend.
