President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja today for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform Umrah and offer prayers for peace, unity and progress in Nigeria.
A statement issued on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the visit will provide the President the opportunity for spiritual reflection and devotion.
During the pilgrimage, Tinubu is expected to perform the prescribed Islamic rites and seek Allah’s guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its people.
The President will, however, commission equipment acquired by the Nigerian Air Force at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja before departing for Saudi Arabia.
He is expected to return to Nigeria next week after completing the spiritual exercise.
