Tinubu returns from UK trip, heads to Lagos

 

President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu arrived in Lagos in the early hours of Friday following the completion of a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom.

Platinum Post reports that the presidential aircraft touched down at the Presidential Wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 1:15 a.m.

The President was received on arrival by senior government officials, including Lagos State Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.

Also present were the wife of the Lagos State Governor, Mrs Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, alongside chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Tinubu is expected to spend the Eid-el-Fitr festivities in Lagos before returning to Abuja to resume official duties at the Presidential Villa.

During the visit to the UK, the President and the First Lady were hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at a state banquet held at Windsor Castle.

Tinubu also engaged in bilateral discussions with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Downing Street as part of the high-level visit.

The engagements culminated in the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) focused on ports development and wider trade collaboration, aimed at deepening economic relations between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

Recall that Tinubu had earlier departed Abuja on Tuesday for London on an official visit at the invitation of the British government.
