After a two-week holiday in Europe, President Bola Tinubu has formally returned to his duties at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
As Bayo Onanuga, the president’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, announced the president’s return, Tinubu met with Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Chairman Zach Adedeji immediately after his return.
Onanuga verified the meeting with the revenue chief and posted a picture of the president back at his desk on X (previously Twitter).
“This morning, following his two-week vacation, President Bola Tinubu was at his desk,” he wrote. He met with FIRS Chairman Zacch Adedeji for the first time.
During his two-week vacation, the president visited France and the United Kingdom. When he arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at 7:20 p.m. on Saturday, he was greeted warmly by high-ranking officials of his administration, marking his return to Nigeria.
Tinubu’s yearly break, which began on Wednesday, October 2, included the trip. In a prior statement, Onanuga confirmed the official break and clarified that it was meant to be a working vacation.
The president’s discussion with Adedeji, who is now back in office, indicates that he is once again focused on revenue services and tax changes, which are important components of his administration’s economic policy.
Discussions for strengthening Nigeria’s tax structure and increasing national revenue are anticipated to be sparked by the session.
