According to a statement made by a Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina on Friday said the forum was organised by the French Government and a number of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).

”While in Paris, President Buhari will also join other world leaders to commemorate the centenary anniversary of the Armistice signed on November 11, 1918 between the Allied Forces and Germany in the forest of Compiegne in France to end the First World War.
”During his visit to Paris, President Buhari will attend a luncheon hosted by President Emmanuel Macron of France in honour of visiting heads of delegations.
”Before returning to Abuja, the President and his delegation will have an interactive session with the Nigerian Community in France.
”President Buhari will be accompanied to Paris by Governors Aminu Masari, Willie Obiano and Kayode Fayemi of Katsina, Anambra and Ekiti States, respectively.
