President Bola Tinubu has departed Lagos for Abuja after returning from his historic state visit to the United Kingdom and spending the Eid-al-Fitr holiday in Lagos.
The President’s jet took off from the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 6:50 pm on Wednesday.
President Tinubu travelled to the UK from March 18 to 19, 2026, on a state visit at the invitation of Charles III.
Many experts had described the visit as historic as it was the first state visit by a Nigerian leader to Britain in about 37 years and was aimed at strengthening diplomatic, trade and security relations between both countries.
