Tinubu cuts short vacation, returns to Abuja today

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will return to Abuja on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, after ending his annual vacation earlier than planned.

In a statement, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga said the President had departed Nigeria on September 4 for France, with his itinerary expected to include time in both France and the United Kingdom. However, he concluded the trip ahead of schedule in order to resume official duties in the capital.

During his stay in Paris, Tinubu held a private luncheon with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace. The two leaders reviewed bilateral relations and discussed key areas of cooperation, including economic growth, investment, and regional stability. Both sides pledged to deepen the partnership between Nigeria and France for mutual prosperity and greater global engagement.

The President’s early return comes at a time when Nigeria faces pressing domestic and international issues, ranging from economic reforms to regional security challenges. His resumption of duties in Abuja is expected to refocus attention on governance priorities and ongoing policy implementation.

Tinubu’s decision to cut short his holiday underscores what aides describe as his commitment to ensuring continuity in leadership and responsiveness to national matters.
