President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is expected to arrive in Abuja later tonight following a two-nation diplomatic tour to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean and Brazil in South America.

The confirmation of his return was made public on Saturday afternoon by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, via a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, @aonanuga1956.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returns to Abuja today after his two-nation visit to Saint Lucia and Brazil,” the statement read.

The President departed Nigeria on Saturday, June 28, for the tour described as a strategic outreach to deepen ties with regions that have been historically under-engaged in Nigeria’s foreign policy framework.

His first stop was Saint Lucia, where he made a historic visit aimed at strengthening partnerships with Caribbean nations. While there, President Tinubu held discussions with leaders of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), signaling a renewed Nigerian interest in Caribbean diplomacy and South-South cooperation.

The tour continued in Brazil, where Tinubu participated in high-level engagements designed to foster bilateral relations, enhance economic cooperation, and promote cultural exchange between the two nations.

The visits are part of the administration’s broader foreign policy strategy to expand Nigeria’s global alliances and boost its influence across diverse geopolitical zones.
