President Bola Tinubu embarked on a trip to France on Monday, the presidency has said.
However, he did not state the reason for the visit.
Ajuri Ngelale, spokesman for the president, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
He said the president would return to the country after his stay in the European nation.
“President Bola Tinubu will embark on a trip to France on Monday, August 19, departing from Abuja, the nation’s capital. The President will return to the country after his brief work stay in France,” the terse statement read.
This is coming two days after the Nigerian leader returned to Abuja from the Equatorial Guinea.
Last Wednesday, he visited the Central African nation for a three-day official visit to honour the invitation of President Teodoro Mbasogo.
The Gulfstream aircraft conveying Tinubu and his key aides touched down at the Saint Isabel Airport, Malabo, at 02:07 pm local time, where he was received by the Equatorial Guinean Prime Minister, Mrs. Manuela Roka Botey.
During his visit, Tinubu and his Equatorial Guinean counterpart held talks and witnessed the signing of agreements, particularly on oil and gas and security.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, and other members of his cabinet were involved in the signing of agreements and review of opportunities to improve bilateral relations.
