President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Lagos State to observe the end-of-year holidays, concluding his official visits to Borno and Bauchi states.
The President landed at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, where he was welcomed by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, alongside other government officials and prominent members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
It was earlier reported that President Tinubu departed Abuja on Saturday as part of a three-state tour. His first stop was Borno State, where he commissioned several projects carried out by the state government under Governor Babagana Zulum, in partnership with the Federal Government.
During his stay in Maiduguri, the President also attended the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno State Governor and Senator, Ali Modu Sheriff, who tied the knot with his bride, Hadiza Kam Salem.
