President Bola Ahmed Tinubu leaves Abuja on Thursday for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, where he will perform Umrah and offer prayers for Nigeria’s peace, unity, stability and progress.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
The trip, a spiritual pilgrimage to the Holy City, according to Onanuga, would give the President time for reflection and devotion.
He said during the visit, he will carry out the rites of Umrah and seek Allah’s guidance and blessings for the nation and its people.
Meanwhile, the SA said before his departure, the President would commission equipment recently acquired by the Nigerian Air Force for its operations.
Onanuga said the ceremony would take place at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
He said President Tinubu would return to the country next week after completing the spiritual exercise.
