President Tinubu returns to Nigeria after two weeks outside the country

Following a two-week trip overseas, President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria has returned to Abuja. Early on Wednesday morning, Tinubu made his way back to the Aso Rock Villa, his official house in Abuja.

In a tweet on Tuesday evening, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, revealed, “President Bola Tinubu, along with his aides, will return to Nigeria tomorrow from Europe.”

Following the invitation of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the President left Abuja two weeks ago, on April 23, 2024, for a three-day official visit to The Netherlands. 

He took part in the Nigerian-Dutch Business and Investment Forum, which brought together leaders of organisations and conglomerates from both nations, when he was in the Netherlands. 

Additionally, he had private talks with the Kingdom's Queen Maxima, King Willem-Alexander, and His Royal Majesty. 

Tinubu travelled from The Netherlands to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as previously announced by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, to attend a World Economic Forum Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development, which was set for April 28–29.

He reviewed the steps done since the first Growth Summit, which took place in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2023, alongside more than 1,000 executives from industry, government, and academia from more than 90 countries. 

In the last five months, he had made two trips to the Gulf state.
