US EditionBREAKING: Tinubu Proceeds on Holidays, Departs Abuja for UK, France
President Tinubu combines rest with diplomacy during his 10-day working vacation, continuing governance remotely amid economic reforms and international engagements, presidency states.
- The Presidency announced Thursday that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu departed Abuja to begin a ten-working-day working vacation in Europe, spending time in France and the United Kingdom.
- The trip marks the start of Tinubu's 2025 annual leave, blending rest with official engagements and informal diplomacy in France and the United Kingdom.
- Critics noted that opposition members and some Nigerians criticised Tinubu's frequent foreign trips, while Budget watchdog BudgIT reported the presidency spent at least N16.06 billion on such trips between June 2023 and May 2024.
- Both chambers of the National Assembly are on recess and the Presidency's announcement omitted a formal Section 145 letter; Tinubu is expected to return later this month after completing the leave.
- The Presidency positions such trips as strategic chances for informal diplomacy, investment courting, and consultations, but political analysts warn the optics amid economic strain could draw scrutiny.
