President Bola Tinubu has arrived back in Nigeria after concluding a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom, shifting focus to local engagements and the forthcoming Eid al-Fitr celebrations.
The President touched down in Lagos in the early hours of Friday alongside First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, with the presidential aircraft landing at about 1:15 a.m. at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
On arrival, he was welcomed by top government officials, including Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Also in attendance were Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu and prominent members of the All Progressives Congress.
Tinubu is expected to remain in Lagos for the Eid-el-Fitr observance before returning to Abuja to resume official duties at the Presidential Villa.
During the short visit to the UK, the President engaged in a series of high-level diplomatic and economic meetings.
He and the First Lady were hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at a state banquet held at Windsor Castle.
Tinubu also held bilateral discussions with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Downing Street, where both countries explored avenues to strengthen cooperation.
As part of the outcomes, Nigeria and the UK signed memoranda of understanding focused on port development and trade.
The President had earlier departed Abuja for London in the week at the invitation of the British government.
