President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today returned to Abuja, marking the end of his Eid al-Adha holidays spent in Lagos. The President departed Nigeria’s commercial hub on Tuesday, June 10, after nearly two weeks in the city, which also coincided with significant regional engagements.
President Tinubu had initially arrived in Lagos on Tuesday, May 27, to participate in the 50th-anniversary celebrations of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). His stay in Lagos extended through the recent Eid al-Adha festivities, a period during which he reportedly observed the holidays.
A video shared by Mr. Dada Olusegun, the Special Assistant to President Tinubu on Social Media, captured the President en route to the airport, accompanied by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The footage, widely circulated, showed the two leaders together, underscoring the cordial send-off.

The President’s return to the federal capital is anticipated to see him resume the full complement of his official duties following the holiday period.
