President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja early Wednesday after spending two weeks outside the country.

President Tinubu was received by top government officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.

Tinubu’s diplomatic journey commenced with an official visit to the Kingdom of the Netherlands on April 23, at the invitation of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

During his time in the Netherlands, Tinubu held discussions with prominent Dutch officials, including separate meetings with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima. Additionally, he participated in the Nigerian-Dutch Business and Investment Forum.

Following his engagements in the Netherlands, the President attended a special World Economic Forum meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from April 28 to 29.

The forum, themed “Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development,” convened leaders from various sectors to discuss global development strategies.

However, after the conclusion of the summit on April 29th, the President’s whereabouts remained undisclosed, with the presidency providing no information while speculation arose regarding a potential private visit to Europe following his time in Saudi Arabia.

However, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed that Tinubu will return to the country on Wednesday.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, along with his aides, will return to Nigeria tomorrow from Europe,” Onanuga wrote.

It would be recalled that former Vice President and PDP candidate in the last presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, had accused Tinubu of globetrotting in search of foreign direct investments instead of solving the country’s numerous socio-economic challenges.
