After the Independence Day celebration, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has departed for the United Kingdom to begin a two-week vacation.
The presidency revealed this on Wednesday, with a follow-up preparation for the departure in Abuja.
The new foreign trip that has been scheduled to last for two weeks, will be the 27th of the president’s international trips since his administration started 16 months ago.
According to the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, in a statement he signed on Wednesday, the vacation is “part of his yearly leave,”.
The statement is titled ‘President Tinubu goes on annual leave.’
“He will use the two weeks as a working vacation and a retreat to reflect on his administration’s economic reforms.
“He will return to the country after the leave expires,” the statement read in part.
