The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening economic ties with France to foster mutual prosperity. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, made this known during a visit from French Ambassador Marc Fonbaustier in Abuja.
Idris praised France’s role in facilitating President Bola Tinubu’s 2024 state visit and emphasized the importance of implementing Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed during the trip. He assured that Nigeria’s ongoing reforms would drive sustainable growth and welcomed continued French support.

I have also seen you work in this country within a very short time that you have been here, cementing the bond of relationship that exists between France and Nigeria.

“And today, we can say that France is a very important partner to our country.

“Not many African Heads of State or Governments were extended that kind of friendship by President Emmanuel Macron during our state visit to your country.

“They are fulfilled, there must be some strong bond that exists between these two countries that all of us need to deepen so that together we can make the world a better place.

“Now, let me say that during that visit, a number of Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) were signed between your country and Nigeria.

“Our desires and needs as a ministry to deliver on our mandate require that we also come under that MOU so that together we can forge a strong unity that will help us to deliver more efficiently and effectively on the mandate of President Tinubu.

“I know that the French government is eager to partner with our country so that we can build on and sustain on President Tinubu’s reform that is now showing signs of positivity,” Idris said.Fonbaustier reiterated France’s commitment to deepening collaboration and invited Idris to the Nigerian Business Forum in Paris on April 10, 2025, highlighting the potential for attracting French investors to Nigeria.

Idris noted that Nigeria would continue to partner and engage with France and other countries willing to support its development goals.

“And for France, we have seen the signs already.

“I want to also specifically thank you for extending the invitation to my ministry to participate in the Nigerian Business Forum that is going to happen on April 10,” Idris said.

Fonbaustier reiterated France’s commitment to deepening collaboration and invited Idris to the Nigerian Business Forum in Paris on April 10, 2025, highlighting the potential for attracting French investors to Nigeria.

Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
