Since taking office in 2023, President Bola Tinubu has spent 237 days outside Nigeria, with France accounting for the largest share at 89 days; no other country comes close. The United Kingdom follows at 28 days, while the UAE, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia trail behind. This pattern points to a presidency that has placed strong emphasis on international engagement, particularly with Europe, and especially with France, which has emerged as his most frequent foreign base.
Western and Middle Eastern countries dominate the list of visited countries, alongside a handful of strategic partners in Asia and Africa. At the same time, the relatively high number of days in a single country suggests that some trips are extended stays rather than short diplomatic visits.
