President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after a two-week private visit to France.

The presidential jet, NAF 001, touched down at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at about 9 pm.

The President was received by top government officials, including his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume; National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The trip was Tinubu’s third to France and his 14th foreign visit since he assumed office eight months ago.

The president returns amid protests in some states over the rising cost of living and food prices.

The country witnessed demonstrations in Niger and Kano states on the high cost of living in the country.
