Tinubu currently on official leave
Tinubu is currently on a 10-working-day annual leave, which began on September 4. He left Abuja for visits to France and the United Kingdom, before his expected return to Nigeria later this month.
The trip comes amid continued attention on Nigeria’s foreign relations and economic direction, especially in light of recent policy shifts at home.
