Disclosing this in a statement on Friday, November 3, 2023, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, said Tinubu commended the European nation for the move.
Ngelale said the French government’s decision to return the loot was conveyed by the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Catherine Colonna, during her meeting with the Nigerian president on Friday.
The highly-elated Tinubu lauded the strengthening of bilateral relations between Nigeria and France, noting that this progress followed his visit to Paris after his inauguration.
