President Tinubu Extends European Working Vacation

ABUJA, NIGERIA: President Bola Tinubu has extended his working vacation in Europe and is expected to return to Nigeria at the weekend.

Tinubu left Nigeria on August 30 and later travelled to Paris, where he held meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Vincent Bolloré.

Vice President Kashim Shettima is representing Nigeria at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. 
