President Bola Tinubu returned to Abuja on Monday following a 10-day working visit to Lagos, the Presidency confirmed in a statement by Presidential Spokesperson Bayo Onanuga.

Tinubu had arrived in Lagos on September 26 after attending the coronation of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, in Ibadan. During his visit, he engaged with major investors, including Bayo Ogunlesi, CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners, and HaKeem Belo-Osagie, Chairman of Metis Capital Partners.

He also received Arsenio Dominguez, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), alongside Marine and Blue Economy Minister Adegboyega Oyetola and other industry leaders. Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to developing Nigeria’s maritime sector as a strong alternative to fossil fuels.

Ahead of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, the President traveled to Imo State to commission key projects completed under Governor Hope Uzodimma. While there, he also unveiled a book by Uzodimma documenting 10 years of APC governance in Nigeria.

On Independence Day, Tinubu addressed the nation from the historic State House, Dodan Barracks, Lagos, and later inaugurated the renovated National Theatre, now named the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts.

On Saturday, the President attended the burial of Mama Lydia Yilwatda, mother of APC Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, in Jos, Plateau State. At the funeral, he paid tribute to Mama Yilwatda and reiterated his administration’s commitment to religious inclusivity and national unity.
