President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Thursday for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform the Islamic pilgrimage known as Umrah and pray for Nigeria’s peace, unity and stability.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday, by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
According to the statement, the visit will provide the President with an opportunity for spiritual reflection and devotion, as he seeks Allah’s guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its citizens.
During his stay in Makkah, Tinubu is expected to perform the religious rites associated with Umrah, a pilgrimage to the holy city undertaken by Muslims.
Before departing Nigeria, the President will commission newly acquired equipment for the Nigerian Air Force at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
The statement did not provide further details about the equipment to be commissioned.
President Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria next week after completing the spiritual exercise.
