President Bola Tinubu on Monday resumed work at his office in the Presidential Villa, Abuja following a two-week vacation abroad.

The president’s first meeting was with the chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Zacch Adedeji, according to Tinubu’s special adviser on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga.

“President Bola Tinubu at his desk this morning, after the two-week vacation. His first meeting was with FIRS Chairman Zacch Adedeji,” Mr Onanuga wrote in a post on X.

Tinubu arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport around 7:20 pm on Saturday.

He was received at the airport by his chief of staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; and ministers including Wale Edun (finance) and Abubakar Bagudu (budget and economic planning).

Others who were present to receive him were the national security adviser Nuhu Ribadu and national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje.

Tinubu departed for the two-week vacation on Wednesday, October 2 as part of his annual leave, according to Onanuga.

On October 11, Tinubu left the UK for Paris, France for an “important engagement”.

Before Tinubu’s return, there were concerns that the president and his deputy Kashim Shettima were out of the country at the same time.
