President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria following a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom, with attention now turning to domestic engagements and the upcoming Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
The President arrived in Lagos in the early hours of Friday alongside the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, as the presidential aircraft touched down at about 1:15 a.m. at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
He was received on arrival by a delegation of senior officials, including Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
