This followed concerns over his prolonged absence, particularly after renewed attacks by bandits in Plateau and Benue states.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Onanuga further explained that despite his absence, President Tinubu has remained in close contact with the situation in Nigeria and has been regularly consulting with his appointed officials back home.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recall that the President left Nigeria for France on April 2, 2025, for a short working visit.
