Agreements Signed at High-Level Economic Forum

The agreements were formalized at an economic forum held at the Palais des Elysée in Paris. The event was attended by prominent businessmen, industry leaders, governors, and high-ranking officials from both countries. Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, signed the Letter of Intent on behalf of Nigeria.

Key Areas of Focus

The agreements emphasize collaboration in:

  • Critical infrastructure development
  • Healthcare and transportation
  • Agricultural value chains
  • Renewable energy
  • Human capital development

The two nations also pledged to remove fiscal barriers to enhance mutual trade while ensuring the protection of labor rights.

Supporting Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda

In a separate agreement, Mr. Edun and Mr. Rémi Rioux, CEO of the French Development Agency (AFD), signed another Letter of Intent. This partnership aligns with Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda and seeks to:

  1. Expand urban infrastructure and transportation networks.
  2. Improve housing, education (with a focus on STEM fields), and healthcare.
  3. Strengthen sustainable agriculture and food security through agro-logistic hubs.

The AFD also committed to supporting Nigeria’s real sector by providing capital for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in high-impact sectors.

Long-Term Support for Sustainable Growth

The agreements signify AFD’s continued dedication to Nigeria’s socio-economic growth. Through financial and technical assistance, the agency aims to help Nigeria achieve energy access and transition, sustainable agriculture, and food security. Both governments affirmed their commitment to ensure efficient project implementation across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

Banking Milestones: UBA and Zenith Bank Expand to France

Adding to the successes of the state visit, the United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Zenith Bank achieved notable milestones in France. UBA signed an agreement to commence operations in Paris, solidifying its presence in Europe. Similarly, Zenith Bank inaugurated its services in the country, marking a step forward in fostering cross-border financial collaboration.

Strengthening Nigeria-France Ties

These developments underscore a deepening strategic partnership between Nigeria and France. The agreements not only promise transformative projects for Nigeria but also highlight the two nations’ shared vision for economic growth and sustainable development.
