Tinubu Returns to Lagos for Nigeria's Independence Day Events
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria on Tuesday, September 29, after a four-week working vacation in Europe. Upon his arrival at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, he will be welcomed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Tinubu plans to participate in activities marking Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, remaining in Lagos until Thursday, October 1, when he will deliver a nationwide broadcast. This broadcast is part of the anniversary celebrations, which also include a public lecture scheduled for September 30.
This marks the second consecutive year that Tinubu will observe Nigeria’s Independence Day in Lagos, following last year's celebrations amid security concerns related to allegations of a planned military coup, which led to the cancellation of the Independence Day parade on October 1, 2025. Those linked to the alleged coup are currently facing trial while in detention.
