Tinubu will return today after running Nigeria remotely from Europe: Presidency
President Bola Tinubu will return to the country on Monday after a so-called two-week working visit to Europe. He was, however, away for more than two weeks.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said this in a statement on Monday.
“President Bola Tinubu will return home today,” the spokesman said.
The president, who departed Nigeria on April 2 for Paris, France, held a high-level meeting with Massad Boulos, the U.S. Department of State’s Senior Advisor for Africa.
The discussion focused on deepening bilateral cooperation to enhance regional security and sustainable economic development across Africa.
After his engagements in Paris, Mr Tinubu proceeded to London over the weekend, where he continued consultations and maintained regular communication with senior government officials in Abuja, according to the statement.
Meanwhile, many Nigerians are not impressed with the president’s being away from the country amid intensified violent killings in some states.
