President Bola Tinubu returned to Abuja on Monday following a 10-day working visit to Lagos. This was confirmed by Presidential Spokesperson Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
Tinubu arrived in Lagos on September 26, after attending the coronation of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, in Ibadan. During his stay, he engaged with major investors, including Bayo Ogunlesi, CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners, and HaKeem Belo-Osagie, Chairman of Metis Capital Partners.
He also met with Mr. Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), along with Marine and Blue Economy Minister Adegboyega Oyetola and other sector leaders. Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to positioning Nigeria’s maritime sector as a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
In the lead-up to Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, Tinubu visited Imo State to commission key projects completed by Governor Hope Uzodimma. While there, he unveiled a book by Governor Uzodimma that documents a decade of APC governance in Nigeria.
On Independence Day, Tinubu addressed the nation from the historic State House, Dodan Barracks, in Lagos. He later inaugurated the renovated National Theatre, now renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts.
On Saturday, Tinubu traveled to Jos, Plateau State, for the burial of Mama Lydia Yilwatda, mother of APC Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda. At the funeral, he paid tribute to Mama Yilwatda and reiterated his administration’s commitment to religious fairness and national unity.
