President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the First Lady, Remi Tinubu, have returned to Nigeria following a historic state visit to the United Kingdom (UK).
The President is expected to spend the Sallah holiday in Lagos before resuming official duties, according to officials familiar with the schedule.
Tinubu departed London late on Thursday after a two-day visit hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
He had left Abuja on Tuesday for the trip, which was the first UK state visit by a Nigerian leader in 37 years and the first time a Nigerian president has been hosted by the British monarch at Windsor Castle.
During the visit, the King hosted the Nigerian delegation, including the First Lady, at Windsor from Wednesday to Thursday.
Their Majesties also invited the President and his wife to view a special exhibition from the Royal Collection highlighting historical links with Nigeria, before holding private talks and meeting organisations involved in interfaith dialogue.

A state banquet was held in honour of the Nigerian guests, implying what both sides described as a renewed commitment to bilateral ties.
In addition, the President held talks with the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, at 10 Downing Street.
The meeting led to expanded engagement between senior officials and the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) covering trade, investment, defence and cultural cooperation.
Nigeria and the United Kingdom maintain longstanding historical and diplomatic links.
The visit was used to "deepen collaboration in areas including immigration, commerce and cultural exchange," as both countries seek to strengthen their partnership.
