President Bola tinubu  has arrived back in Abuja after visiting the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia.

President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja from his foreign trips.

He landed at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja on Wednesday morning.

President Tinubu was welcomed at the airport by ministers, senior government officials, and security heads.

• During his visit to the Netherlands, President Tinubu had important talks with the Prime Minister and met separately with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima.
• President Tinubu also took part in the Nigerian-Dutch Business and Investment Forum, where leaders from various conglomerates and organizations in Nigeria and the Netherlands gathered to discuss potential collaborations, particularly in agriculture and water management for sustainable farming practices.

After concluding his official visit to the Netherlands, the President went on to participate in a special World Economic Forum (WEF) gathering that took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from April 28 to 29.

During this event, centered on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development, President Tinubu and his team leveraged the presence of more than 1,000 leaders from the business, government, and academic sectors to engage in discussions aligning with his Renewed Hope Agenda for the nation.

After attending the meeting, President Tinubu left Saudi Arabia with plans to return to Nigeria, but he did not, leading to speculation about his location. In response to the concerns, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, stated that the Nigerian leader is presently in Europe. Onanuga further announced in a post on Tuesday that President Tinubu is set to return to Nigeria on Wednesday, 8th May.
