Nigeria’s President-Elect to Refine Transition Plan in UK

This is the second time Tinubu will be traveling out of the country after being declared president-elect on March 1 this year. He returned to Nigeria on April 24 after a four-week vacation in France.

Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has departed for the United Kingdom, in what his aide described as a “working visit”, and part of final preparations for his assumption of office on May 29.

His spokesperson Tunde Rahman said Tinubu “will use the opportunity of the trip to fine-tune the transition plans and programmes, and his policy options with some of his key aides without unnecessary pressures and distractions”.

During the visit, the president-elect will also engage with investors and other key allies hoping to convince them of Nigeria’s readiness to do business under his leadership.
