Tinubu Expected in Lagos September 29 After Europe Stay

President Bola Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria on September 29, arriving in Lagos after an extended working vacation in Europe, the Presidency said. The announced itinerary includes Independence Day engagements on October 1, but the reports do not confirm that he has returned. Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said Tinubu was hale and hearty and had continued working while abroad, including meeting investors in France. The Presidency said he remained in contact with officials and continued directing government affairs. Those accounts have not been independently verified in the reports. Tinubu left Nigeria on August 30 for what was initially described as a three-week annual vacation. His return had been expected earlier, and the Presidency subsequently said his stay was extended. On September 27, Onanuga confirmed a revised plan for the president to arrive in Lagos on September 29, where he was expected to attend official engagements and a documentary premiere about the late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola at the National Theatre on October 1.
