President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is scheduled to depart Abuja on Thursday for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah, an Islamic pilgrimage. This visit is intended for spiritual reflection, devotion, and prayers for Nigeria's peace, unity, stability, and progress.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, stated that during this pilgrimage, Tinubu will perform the religious rites associated with Umrah while seeking Allah's guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its people. Prior to his departure, Tinubu is expected to commission equipment acquired by the Nigerian Air Force for its operations at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
He is anticipated to return to Nigeria the following week after completing the spiritual exercise.
