President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Abuja after concluding his Eid-el-Fitr engagements in Lagos and a recent state visit to the United Kingdom.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President departed Lagos on Wednesday evening from the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
Tinubu had earlier returned to Nigeria last Friday following a high-level diplomatic trip to the UK, where he held a series of engagements.
After his arrival, he proceeded to Lagos and observed the Eid-el-Fitr prayers at Dodan Barracks.
During his stay, the President held several political and official meetings, including hosting 23 state governors in what observers described as a strong display of political unity. Among them was Biodun Oyebanji.
He also met with a delegation from the European Union, further strengthening diplomatic and economic ties, as well as members of the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council.
Vice President Kashim Shettima also visited Lagos to brief the President on security developments in Borno State following a recent suicide bombing incident.
Ahead of his departure, Tinubu was seen off by top dignitaries, including Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy Obafemi Hamzat, and other senior government officials.
The President is expected to resume official duties in Abuja after the holiday and his recent domestic and international engagements.
