President Bola Tinubu is set to leave Lagos for Abuja on Monday evening, bringing his six-day stay in the state to an end following his annual vacation in Europe.
The President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday titled, “President Tinubu returns to Abuja.”
According to the statement, Tinubu arrived in Lagos on Tuesday, September 29, after spending his annual vacation in London and Paris.
During his stay in Lagos, the President delivered his Independence Day address on October 1 as Nigeria marked its 66th anniversary. In the broadcast, Tinubu declared that the country was moving from an “age of reform” into an “age of prosperity.”
