President Bola Tinubu on Friday arrived in Lagos for a working visit shortly after attending the coronation of the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The development was disclosed in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

According to the statement, the visit comes ahead of Nigeria’s modest celebration of its 65th Independence Anniversary. While in Lagos, the President is expected to hold meetings with key private sector stakeholders and senior government officials.

The statement further noted that on Tuesday, September 30, Tinubu will travel to Imo State to inaugurate several projects executed by Governor Hope Uzodimma.

“As part of the Independence anniversary activities, the President will also commission the remodelled National Theatre in Lagos, which has been renamed the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and the Creative Arts,” the statement added.

Speaking earlier in Ibadan at the coronation of Oba Ladoja, President Tinubu assured Nigerians that the reforms implemented by his administration over the past two years are beginning to yield results.

“Today, I am honoured to bring the cheering news that our economy has turned around and there is now light at the end of the tunnel,” Tinubu declared.

He attributed the progress to the support, endurance, and sacrifices of Nigerians, stressing that the efforts made by citizens in the past 28 months were not in vain.
