ABUJA, NIGERIA (NPA) — March 20, 2026 — Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has paid homege to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to celebrate the Eid festivities, following the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

In a post on X on Friday, Gbajabiamila revealed that he also used the occasion to review video clips from President Tinubu’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom, alongside discussions on other state matters after Eid prayers.

Gbajabiamila noted that President Tinubu expressed appreciation to Nigerians who turned out in large numbers to honour their country during the historic visit. The former Speaker of the House of Representatives thanked God for the successful completion of Ramadan and prayed for peace in all households and across the nation.

The agreement followed Tinubu’s meeting with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street, marking the first official visit by a Nigerian leader to Britain in nearly four decades.
