Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Nigerian President, has left the United Kingdom for Paris, France, where he is expected to attend an “important engagement” after spending over a week in the UK.

The Senior Special Assistant on Political and other matters to the president, Ibrahim Kabir Masari disclosed this on Friday through his X account.

“Today, I had the honor of visiting President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR at his private residence in the United Kingdom, where we engaged in productive discussions.

“We then departed for Paris, France, for another important engagement”, Masari said.

Meanwhile, details of the engagement were not made public.

Recall that President Tinubu departed Nigeria on Wednesday, October 2, for a two-week working vacation in the UK, as part of his annual leave.

The President’s vacation comes despite the pervasive economic hardship Nigerians are facing.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited had increased the price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to N1,030 per litre, further worsening the hardship on Nigerians.
