The president was last seen at the 2024 Special World Economic Forum on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, on Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 28.
Tinubu had earlier met with the king and prime minister of the Netherlands.
His return on Wednesday, May 8, concludes his 20th foreign trip since he was sworn in last May, totalling 96 days abroad. He has visited some countries more than once since he resumed office.
Here’s a list of every country the President has visited since inauguration:
As Nigerian president, Tinubu’s first country of travel was France, where he attended the New Global Financing Pact Summit.
The journey happened barely a month after he took the oath of office, and he was reported to have used the period to discuss Nigeria’s economic growth with global leaders.
Two weeks after the France summit, President Tinubu visited London, where he met with his predecessor, ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, on June 27.
The duo meeting was the first of its kind since Buhari handed over to Tinubu on May 29.
On July 8, just after one month in office, President Tinubu visited Guinea Bissau, where he participated in the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
At the event, Tinubu was unanimously elected as chairman of the West African bloc by the heads of states in the region.
On Saturday, July 15, Kenya became the second African country the Nigerian president visited in his first 100 days in office.
The visit marked the first African Union (AU) gathering that Tinubu attended as Nigerian President.
On Tuesday, August 1, President Tinubu visited the Benin Republic with six governors to celebrate the country’s democracy with the French-speaking people.
The president embarked on the journey when the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) announced a worldwide protest against the removal of the fuel subsidy, which has caused hardship to the country’s people.
Nine other countries Tinubu visited are listed below:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Shettima said Tinubu is determined to fight corruption without fear or favouritism.
Shettima also explained that Tinubu’s administration was doing a lot to reduce the country’s unemployment rate.
