Mr. Edun, a central figure in President Bola Tinubu’s economic team, has played a key role in shaping Nigeria’s fiscal reforms, including efforts to stabilize the naira and attract foreign investments. His sudden trip has raised questions about continuity in critical economic policy decisions during his absence.
As of press time, the Ministry of Finance has not released an official statement regarding his health or return date.
