PRESIDENT Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu returned to Lagos in the early hours of Friday after concluding a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom (UK), with the presidential jet landing at the Presidential Wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos at about 1:15am.
On ground to receive the President were top government officials, including the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, and the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila.
Others were the Wife of the Lagos State Governor, Mrs Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains.
Tinubu is expected to observe the Eid-el-Fitr celebration in Lagos before returning to Abuja to continue official duties at the Presidential Villa.
During the UK visit, Tinubu and the First Lady were hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla to an elaborate state banquet at Windsor Castle.
The President also held bilateral talks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Downing Street during the high-level engagement.
Both countries signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) covering migration, ports development and broader trade cooperation aimed at strengthening economic ties between Nigeria and the UK.
President Tinubu departed Abuja on Tuesday for London some few hours after terrorists bombed three key places in the North-East city of Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
The UK visit was at the invitation of the British Government. (NAN)
