President Bola Tinubu held extensive talks in Paris on Friday with Mr Vincent Bolloré of the Bolloré Group, whose media and digital interests include Canal+, MultiChoice, and Universal Music Group. During the meeting, part of the President’s working vacation, the Group confirmed plans to deepen the localisation of its operations in Nigeria across film, entertainment, fibre-optic infrastructure, and related sectors. Mr Bolloré and his executives outlined new investments centred on Nigeria, which they described as the spearhead of Africa’s cultural renaissance, driven by the global success of Nollywood and Afrobeats and growing international demand for Nigerian content. President Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to development and economic growth, with emphasis on job creation for young Nigerians and investment in digitalisation, and welcomed the Group’s decision to deepen its local presence.
