The Presidency says President Bola Tinubu remains fully engaged in Nigeria’s governance even though he is away in Europe.

President Tinubu departed Nigeria for Paris, France on 2nd April, on what the Presidency described as a short working visit.

It said during the visit, the President will appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones.

It added Tinubu will also use the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.

It also states that the President will return on Monday, 21st April, after the Easter holidays.

Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement said his absence remains temporary and in line with the communicated timeframe of approximately two weeks.

Onanuga noted that the President left Paris for London at the weekend and has maintained constant communication with key government officials, overseeing critical national matters, including directives to security chiefs to address emerging threats in some parts of the country.

He confirmed that his return to Abuja and the resumption of duties at Aso Villa will follow the conclusion of the Easter holiday.

The President’s commitment to his duties remains unwavering, and his administration continues to function effectively under his leadership.

“We appreciate the public’s concern and assure all Nigerians that governance proceeds without interruption,” the statement concluded.

Following the escalation on insecurity in some parts of the country, including the massacre of many people in Plateau and Benue State, some opposition leaders have called on the president to return home from his Europe trip and face governance.
