The announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement made available to the media on Thursday.

“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,” Onanuga stated.

• Start Date: September 4, 2025
• Duration: 10 working days
• Locations: France and the United Kingdom
• Return: Expected after the conclusion of the vacation

The Presidency described the trip as a working vacation, although no further details have been provided about potential meetings or engagements during the stay abroad.

The vacation comes at a time of heightened political and economic developments within the country, with debates ongoing about state police, flood warnings, and youth mobilisation for the NYSC 2025 Batch B.

This trip marks one of several international travels by the President since assuming office in May 2023, many of which have included multilateral summits, bilateral meetings, and private engagements.

Though brief, such trips often generate public interest and debate over leadership presence during critical national moments.
