CurrentReport Blog President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has left the United Kingdom for Paris, France, after spending over a week in the UK for a working vacation. The announcement was made by Ibrahim Kabir Masari, the Senior Special Assistant on Political and other matters to the President, via his X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday.
Masari shared: “Today, I had the honor of visiting President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR at his private residence in the United Kingdom, where we engaged in productive discussions. We then departed for Paris, France, for another important engagement.”
Details regarding the nature of the President’s engagement in Paris have not been disclosed.
Tinubu initially departed Nigeria on October 2, 2024, for a two-week working vacation in the UK as part of his annual leave. His absence comes amidst growing economic difficulties in Nigeria, where rising fuel prices have significantly increased the cost of living for many citizens. Recently, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited raised the price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to N1,030 per litre, deepening the economic strain on the country.
