President Bola Tinubu will tomorrow (Tuesday) return to Abuja after concluding his annual vacation earlier than scheduled.

The President departed Nigeria for France on September 4 to spend part of his holiday, with an initial plan to continue the rest of the break in the United Kingdom. However, he has opted to end the vacation and resume official duties in Abuja ahead of time.

During his stay in Paris, Tinubu held a private luncheon with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace. Both leaders reviewed bilateral relations and identified priority areas for cooperation, including trade, security, investment, and global stability.

They agreed to strengthen the long-standing Nigeria-France partnership for mutual prosperity.

The President’s early return comes as his administration faces pressing governance and policy matters, including ongoing reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda, which aim to stabilise the economy, attract investment, and upgrade infrastructure.

Tinubu’s decision to cut short his holiday is seen by many as a signal of his readiness to re-engage with national issues requiring urgent attention.

Confirming the development on Monday, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will return to Abuja on Tuesday, September 16, to resume official duties after concluding his vacation.”
