The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made this known in a statement on Thursday, September 19, 2024.
Onanuga noted that President Tinubu, who returned to Nigeria last Sunday after his trip to China and the United Kingdom, wants to focus on domestic issues and address some of the country’s challenges, especially after the recent devastating flooding.
