President Tinubu and the other global leaders, multilateral institutions, financial experts and economists will take a more holistic look at the recovery of economies from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, and rising cases of poverty, with a view to providing access to finance and investment that will leverage inclusive growth.
“The Summit, which will be hosted by President Emmanuel Macron of France, will be held at Palais Brongniart.”
The statement said that Tinubu will be accompanied by members of the Presidential Policy Advisory Council and senior government officials.
