He was also said to have received a briefing from the Communications Minister, Bosun Tijani, Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and the Executive Vice Chairmen of the Nigerian Communications Commission at the State House.

Tinubu resumed at the presidential villa day after he returned from his two weeks journey to Europe and Saudi Arabia.

Countries Tinubu visited

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.
