ABUJA — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today, September 4, for Europe to begin his 2025 annual leave, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement said the President will spend 10 working days between France and the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today, September 4, to commence a working vacation in Europe, as part of his 2025 annual leave. The vacation will last 10 working days. President Tinubu will spend the period between France and the UK and then return to the country,” Onanuga noted.
The trip comes barely a week after Tinubu returned from a 12-day foreign mission to Brazil and Japan. During that visit, he attended the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) in Yokohama, held bilateral meetings, and engaged with the Nigerian community.
His itinerary also included a stopover in Los Angeles before heading to Brasília, where he met with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Both leaders oversaw the signing of five Memoranda of Understanding covering aviation, foreign affairs, science and technology, and agriculture—sectors tied to Nigeria’s development priorities.
