President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja following a 10-day working visit to Lagos.
Tinubu arrived in Lagos on September 26 after attending the coronation ceremony of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, in Ibadan.
His return was confirmed on Monday through a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
During his stay in Lagos, the President held a series of strategic meetings with key investors, including Bayo Ogunlesi, Chief Executive Officer of Global Infrastructure Partners, and Keem Belo-Osagie, former Chairman of United Bank for Africa and Etisalat, and now Chairman of Metis Capital Partners.
He also met with the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), Arsenio Dominguez, alongside the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and other industry stakeholders.
Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to developing Nigeria’s maritime sector as a viable alternative to fossil fuel-based energy.
Highlighting the President’s activities during the trip, Onanuga stated: “Ahead of Nigeria’s 65th Independence anniversary, Tinubu visited Imo State to commission projects executed by Governor Hope Uzodimma and unveiled a book authored by the governor chronicling 10 years of APC governance in Nigeria.
“On October 1, the President delivered his Independence Day broadcast from the State House, Dodan Barracks, and later commissioned the renovated National Theatre, renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts.
“On October 4, Tinubu attended the burial of Mama Lydia Yilwatda, mother of APC Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, in Jos, Plateau State, where he paid tribute to the deceased and assured Christian communities in Northern Nigeria of his administration’s commitment to fairness and equity.”
