President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Thursday for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah, an Islamic pilgrimage.
A statement from the State House explained that the spiritual trip will give the President an opportunity to pray for Nigeria’s peace, unity, stability, and continued progress.
While in the Holy City, President Tinubu will perform the religious rites and seek Allah’s guidance and blessings for the nation and its people.
Before leaving Abuja, the President will first commission some newly acquired equipment for the Nigerian Air Force. The commissioning will take place at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport.
According to the statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President is expected back in the country next week after completing the spiritual exercise.
