President Bola Tinubu has returned to the Nigerian capital of Abuja following a fortnight-long private sojourn in Paris, France. The arrival of NAF 001 at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Int’l Airport occurred around 09:00 pm local time, where he was warmly welcomed by eminent government dignitaries, including his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume; National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Among those present on the welcoming committee were also the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani; Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Heineken Lokpobiri; and the Director-General of the Department of State Service, Yusuf Bichi, alongside other notable figures.
Although the purpose of the visit was undisclosed by the presidency, an announcement preceding his departure on January 24 indicated Tinubu’s intended return during the initial week of February 2024.
This excursion marks Tinubu’s third journey to the country and his 14th overseas visit since assuming office eight months ago.
