President Bola Tinubu has departed Abuja on Thursday, September 4, to commence his 2025 annual leave, embarking on a 10-working-day working vacation in Europe, during which he will spend time in France and the United Kingdom before returning to Nigeria as announced in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

This is not the first time President Tinubu has taken an annual leave since assuming office in May 2023. Previously, in October 2024, he went on a two-week annual leave working vacation to the United Kingdom, marking his first official leave since becoming president. Unlike some predecessors, he has not formally handed over power to the Vice President during these leaves.

The titled “PRESIDENT TINUBU DEPARTS ABUJA TO BEGIN 2025 ANNUAL LEAVE” states thus: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja today, September 4, to commence a working vacation in Europe, as part of his 2025 annual leave.

“The vacation will last 10 working days.
“President Tinubu will spend the period between France and the UK and then return to the country.”
