Tinubu returns to Abuja after 10-day working visit to Lagos
President Bola Tinubu returned to Abuja on Monday after a 10-day working visit to Lagos, presidential aide Bayo Onanuga said in a statement.
Mr Tinubu arrived in Lagos on September 26, after attending the coronation of the Olubadan, Rashidi Ladoja, in Ibadan.
During his stay in Lagos, he met with major investors, including Bayo Ogunlesi, CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners, and Hakeem Belo-Osagie, chairman of Metis Capital Partners.
He also received Arsenio Dominguez, the secretary-general of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), alongside Marine and Blue Economy Minister Adegboyega Oyetola and other sector leaders.
Mr Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to positioning Nigeria’s maritime sector as a strong alternative to fossil fuels.
Ahead of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, the president visited Imo State to commission key projects completed by Governor Hope Uzodimma.
While in Imo, he unveiled a book by Mr Uzodimma, documenting 10 years of APC governance in Nigeria.
On Independence Day, Mr Tinubu addressed the nation from the historic state house, Dodan Barracks, in Lagos.
He later inaugurated the renovated National Theatre, now renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts.
On Saturday, the president travelled to Jos, Plateau, for the burial of Lydia Yilwatda, mother of APC chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda.
At the funeral, Mr Tinubu paid tribute to Mrs Yilwatda and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to religious fairness and national unity.
