Deji Elumoye in Abuja
Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday formally met President Bola Tinubu as the latter ended his two-week working leave last week.
President Tinubu returned to Abuja on 19 October from a personal holiday to London that began on 2 October.
Shettima, who was visiting Sweden when President Tinubu assumed office, briefed the President on his recent diplomatic visit to his office at the State House, Abuja.
It was learned on the day that the Vice President also used the occasion to brief President Tinubu on his canceled visit to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Apia, Samoa.
Shettima's trip to Samoa to represent Nigeria at the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit was canceled last Thursday after a foreign object hit his plane during a stopover at JFK Airport in New York.
The foreign object damaged the aircraft's cockpit windscreen.
While Shettima was away, the President relieved five ministers of their duties,
Reappointed 10 other ministers, and also nominated seven new ministers, subject to Senate confirmation.
With Shettima's return, the two leaders are expected to resume close coordination on Nigeria's domestic and international priorities.
