Tinubu departs Abuja for 10-day working vacation in Europe
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday, September 4, departed Abuja to begin his 2025 annual leave.
According to a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President will embark on a 10-working-day working vacation in Europe, during which he is expected to spend time in France and the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria.
This marks the second time Tinubu has taken annual leave since assuming office in May 2023.
In October 2024, he proceeded on a two-week working vacation in the UK, which was his first official leave as president.
Unlike some of his predecessors, President Tinubu has not formally handed over to the Vice President during his vacation periods.
The statement, titled “President Tinubu Departs Abuja to Begin 2025 Annual Leave”, read in part:
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today, September 4, to commence a working vacation in Europe, as part of his 2025 annual leave. The vacation will last 10 working days. President Tinubu will spend the period between France and the UK and then return to the country.”
