After a 13-day stay in Paris, France, President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria from his private visit.

The president, who departed Abuja on January 24th, was welcomed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja Tuesday evening by top government officials.

President Tinubu was on a private visit to France according to a statement by a spokesman but the statement did not provide details regarding the purpose of the visit.

His return to the country comes amid rising concerns over the cost of living, fueled by protests in some states.

Additionally, opposition parties, socio-cultural groups, and civil society organizations have expressed displeasure over his absence, especially in the face of increasing cases of abductions and other security challenges in Nigeria.
