The presidency had earlier said the President will return home after the Easter festivities, following concerns raised by a section of Nigerians on the continued absence of Tinubu in the wake of renewed attacks by bandits in Plateau and Benue states.

Onanuga had also explained that Tinubu was in touch with realities on the ground in Nigeria and was in close touch with his appointed officials back home.

Tinubu departed Nigeria for France on April 2, 2025, on a short working visit.

Newsone recalls that President Tinubu, during his two-week retreat in Paris, held a high-level meeting with the United States Department of State’s Senior Advisor for Africa, Massad Boulos.

Boulos had revealed the United States government’s interest in strengthening trade ties with Nigeria, which Tinubu took as a welcomed development, especially in view of Trump’s tariff policies.

Another key aspect of the talks included joint efforts to advance lasting peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with emphasis on multilateral cooperation and the role of regional stakeholders.

Following his engagements in Paris, President Tinubu proceeded to London over the weekend, where he continued consultations and maintained regular communication with senior government officials in Abuja.
