President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja after a 10-day working visit to Lagos.

Tinubu arrived in Lagos on September 26, following his attendance at the coronation of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, in Ibadan.

The President’s return was announced on Monday in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

Onanuga said during his stay in Lagos, Tinubu met 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 received the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation, IMO, Arsenio Dominguez, alongside the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, and other industry leaders.

Tinubu reiterated his administration’s commitment to developing Nigeria’s maritime industry as an alternative to fossil energy.

Listing other engagements held by the President during the period, Onanuga said: “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.”
