President Bola Tinubu has finally returned back into the country after his first participation at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States of America (USA).
President Tinubu returned after a 12-day absence on Friday night devoid of the usual fanfare that usually heralds his arrival into the country every time he left.
Recall Tinubu left Nigeria on 17 September to attend the 78th in New York, in what is his first participation at the UNGA since he was sworn-in last May.
After delivering the national statement and holding several meetings on the sidelines of the global assembly, he rang the closing bell at NASDAQ.
Shortly after, the Nigerian President departed New York for Paris, France, last week Thursday. There was no official statement about his mission in the country, but sources said he went for a short vacation.
Tinubu returns to Nigeria amid threats by labour unions to commence an indefinite strike from October 3, if he fails to address the rising cost of living in his October 1st broadcast to mark Nigeria’s 63rd Independence anniversary.
