President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday departed Lagos for Abuja after observing the Eid-el-Fitr festivities, following his recent state visit to the United Kingdom.

The President’s aircraft took off from the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 6:44 pm.

Tinubu had returned to Nigeria from the UK in the early hours of Friday and participated in Eid prayers at Dodan Barracks during his stay in Lagos.

While in the state, the President hosted 23 governors, including Biodun Oyebanji, and also met with a European Union delegation and members of the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council.

Vice President Kashim Shettima also visited Lagos to brief the President on his recent trip to Borno State following a suicide bombing incident.

At the airport to see him off were Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, former governor Olusegun Osoba, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy Obafemi Hamzat, and other senior government officials.
