President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to depart from Abuja on Thursday for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah, an Islamic pilgrimage. This visit is intended for spiritual reflection and prayers for Nigeria's peace, unity, stability, and progress.
A statement from the presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, indicated that while in Makkah, Tinubu will engage in the religious rites associated with Umrah, seeking divine guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its citizens. Prior to his departure, the President will commission equipment acquired by the Nigerian Air Force for its operations at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria the following week after completing this spiritual exercise.
