Tinubu says he is healthy after returning from extended vacation
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu said he was healthy and ready to work after returning from a four-week trip to the United Kingdom and France. His initial three-week vacation was extended, prompting public concern, while his absence also meant he missed the United Nations General Assembly for a third consecutive year.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu said he was healthy and ready to work after returning from a four-week vacation that had prompted public concern about his wellbeing.

The President left Nigeria on August 30 for what was initially announced as a three-week vacation. His stay was later extended. According to his office, he travelled first to the United Kingdom and then to France before returning on Tuesday.
