President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, an Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Makkah.
The President departed Abuja on Thursday afternoon and was received upon arrival by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Yakubu Gambo, and Saudi Arabia’s Head of Royal Protocol, Ahmad bin Thafir.
According to a statement from the Presidency, the visit offers the President an opportunity for spiritual reflection, devotion and prayers for Nigeria’s peace, unity, stability and continued progress.
During the pilgrimage, Tinubu is expected to perform the religious rites associated with Umrah and seek Allah’s guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its citizens.
The President is expected to return to Nigeria next week.
As Nigeria continues to face economic and security challenges, what are your expectations for the country in the coming months?
