President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after a working vacation in Paris, France. His flight is expected to land at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos later this evening. Tinubu chose to return to Lagos first to pay tribute to Chief MKO Abiola, a prominent political figure in Nigerian history.
The Nigerian leader’s visit to Paris was part of his diplomatic engagements, though details of the discussions remain undisclosed. Tinubu’s return marks the conclusion of his brief stay abroad, during which he engaged with international partners. His itinerary in Nigeria will include meetings with key officials and stakeholders.
Separately, the Nigerian government has faced scrutiny over a recent agreement with the United States regarding investment in the country’s mineral sector. Critics, including members of the opposition, have raised concerns about the transparency and details of the deal, which is estimated to be worth up to $700 billion.
Meanwhile, a social media platform built in Nigeria, Crowwe, is gaining momentum ahead of its relaunch. Former officials, including former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, have joined the platform as users.
