President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to Abuja on Monday evening, concluding a two-week working visit to France and the United Kingdom.
President Tinubu’s aircraft landed at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport around 9:50pm, and he was received by senior officials of the administration.
He departed on Wednesday, April 2, and spent some time in Paris, France’s capital, before reportedly heading to London two weekends ago.
During his European visit, he maintained constant communication with key government officials, overseeing critical national matters, including directives to security chiefs to address emerging threats in some parts of the country.
His discussions with the US official centered on deepening bilateral collaboration aimed at enhancing regional security and promoting sustainable economic development across Africa.
A key aspect of the talks included joint efforts to advance lasting peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with emphasis on multilateral cooperation and the role of regional stakeholders.
The meeting underscored Nigeria’s ongoing engagement with international partners in addressing complex security and development challenges across Africa.
Among those who received him on arrival were the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, the National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, Minister of Budget and Economic Planning Atiku Bagudu, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike.
