<h2>President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to Nigeria on Wednesday, May 8, after two weeks of absence on foreign trips to the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia.</h2>

<p>It was gathered that President Tinubu should have returned to the country before the scheduled day but was held back due to the <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/tinubu-may-return-home-in-commercial-plane-presidential-jets-still-faulty/f90jyfq">faulty state of the presidential jet.</a></p>

<p><strong>Pulse</strong> had earlier reported that the Presidential Jet had developed a fault in the Netherlands, which might force the Tinubu to use a commercial air career.</p>

<p>According to media reports, following his diplomatic engagements with Prime Minister Mark Rutte in Rotterdam, Netherlands, President Tinubu was forced to use a chartered plane to Saudi Arabia after his main presidential jet developed a fault and was taken in for maintenance.</p>

<p>It was reported that the second presidential jet he could have flown to Saudi for the World Economic Summit also developed a technical snag.</p>

<p>With the two aircraft grounded, the president’s aides, ministers, and other government officials were equally forced to fly to the summit on commercial airlines, leaving the faulty jets behind.</p>

<p>His return on Wednesday marks the conclusion of his<a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/tinubu-returns-to-nigeria-days-after-report-of-faulty-presidential-jet/jfxq58v"> 20th overseas trip </a>since assuming office last May, spanning 96 days abroad.</p>
