Nigeria and France have signed two major agreements to enhance critical infrastructure, agriculture, and food security, marking a milestone in their growing partnership.
The deals, formalized during President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to Paris, focus on joint efforts in renewable energy, transportation, healthcare, and human capital development.
The agreements, valued at over €300 million, aim to drive sustainable growth across Nigeria’s regions.
In a significant development, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Zenith Bank also launched operations in France, reinforcing economic ties between the two countries.
Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, and French Minister of Economy, Antoine Armand, signed the partnership documents, which include projects focused on infrastructure, STEM education, and renewable energy.
The French Development Agency (AFD) committed to supporting Nigeria’s economic reforms, particularly in urban development and agro-logistics.
