President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will return to Nigeria at the weekend following the extension of his working vacation by a few days.
President Tinubu departed Nigeria on August 30 for London, where he began the working vacation.
After spending about a week in the United Kingdom, he proceeded to Paris, France, where he held separate engagements with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Vincent Bolloré, whose business interests span the media and entertainment sectors
A statement issued on Monday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, announced the President’s expected return.
While away, President Tinubu delegated Vice President Kashim Shettima to represent him at some official functions.
Though VP Shettima left Abuja on September 20 for New York to attend the 81st United Nations General Assembly, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, who has also been representing the President at events, will continue to do so.
On the political front, the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abubakar Yari, has also been leading prominent party figures in consultations with traditional rulers and other stakeholders across the country
