President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to return to Abuja on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, after cutting short his planned two-week working vacation in Europe.
This development was announced in an official statement released by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, titled: “President Tinubu ends vacation ahead of schedule, returns to Abuja tomorrow.”
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has concluded his work vacation ahead of schedule and will return to Abuja on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, to resume official duties,” the statement said.
Tinubu had departed Nigeria on September 4, 2025, for a working vacation in Europe, initially scheduled to span 10 working days. The President was to divide his time between France and the United Kingdom.
“President Tinubu will spend the period between France and the UK and then return to the country,” the presidency had earlier announced when disclosing his travel plans.

During his stay in Paris, the President met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace. According to Onanuga, the two leaders held a private luncheon and discussed bilateral relations.
“Last week in Paris, President Tinubu held a private luncheon with his French counterpart, President Emmanuel Macron, at the Élysée Palace. Both leaders reviewed key areas of cooperation between Nigeria and France and agreed to deepen the partnership for mutual prosperity and global stability,” the statement added.
Although no official reason was given for the early return, Tinubu’s decision to cut short his break suggests a renewed focus on pressing national matters as he resumes official duties in Abuja.
