Tinubu to return to Abuja Sunday after China, UK trips

President Bola Tinubu will return to Abuja on Sunday after a two-week official trip to China and the United Kingdom (UK).

Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser on information and strategy to the president, made the announcement in a statement on Saturday.

Tinubu left Abuja for China on August 29 but stopped in Dubai before arriving in Beijing on September 1.

During his trip, Tinubu met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and both leaders signed five memoranda of understanding (MoU) on behalf of Nigeria and China.

The MoUs cut across areas of trade, infrastructural investments, media cooperation, and security improvements.

Tinubu said he was committed to replicating Chinese infrastructure in Nigeria.

The president left Beijing for London and met with King Charles III.

Olusegun Dada, the new media aide to the president, said on Thursday that Tinubu and King Charles discussed issues related to climate change and action.
