President Bola Tinubu has made his return to Nigeria after an extended period of annual leave, marking the end of weeks of absence from the country.
The president, who took time off for rest and recuperation, arrived back to a nation eager for his leadership to resume amid ongoing political and economic challenges.
His return is seen as timely, as critical national issues continue to demand attention, including the state of the economy, security concerns, and other pressing matters. During his absence, Vice President Kashim Shettima managed the day-to-day affairs of the country.
President Tinubu’s leave, a part of his planned annual routine, had sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some expressing concerns over his extended time away. Others viewed it as a necessary break for the leader, who has been active in the international diplomatic sphere since assuming office.
With his return, many anticipate a renewed focus on his administration’s priorities, particularly in areas of economic recovery, security reforms, and infrastructure development.
