Tinubu ends vacation early, to resume Tuesday (see why)

President Bola Tinubu will return to Abuja on Tuesday, September 16 and is set to resume official duties, ending his vacation earlier than planned.

The Special Adviser to Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed this in a statement on Monday.

Onanuga said, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has concluded his work vacation ahead of schedule and will return to Abuja on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, to resume official duties.”

The President had departed Nigeria for France on September 4, 2025, to spend part of his annual holiday. He was initially scheduled to split the period between France and the United Kingdom.

While in Paris, Tinubu held a private luncheon with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace.

Both leaders reportedly reviewed key areas of bilateral cooperation and agreed to strengthen partnerships in pursuit of mutual prosperity and global stability.

This trip is Tinubu’s seventh visit to Paris since assuming office in May 2023 and his first since the BRICS summit in July and August’s TICAD9 in Japan.
