President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has jetted back into the country after an 18-day work visit and retreat in France and London, respectively.
It was alleged that the president’s visit to Paris and London was in the country’s interest, as he reportedly had a rendezvous with the United States Department of Stateโs Senior Advisor for Africa, Mr. Massad Boulos.
The president has since reunited with the loyal citizens of the country he left behind shortly after the safe landing of the presidential airplane at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at around 9:50 PM on Monday.
Bayo Onanuga, the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, had disclosed that the president’s discussions cut across bilateral collaboration targeted towards the enhancement of region-based security and the promotion of sustainable economic development in pan-Africa, as well as concerted efforts towards the advancement of lasting peace in the the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, with emphasis on multilateral cooperation and the role of regional stakeholders.
The political stalwarts who arrived at the airport to officially welcome the President included Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu; Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, among others.
