Olayinka Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has completed his postgraduate studies at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom, earning a Master of Science in International Financial Management.

Moment captured at graduation

The graduation ceremony took place on Wednesday at the university’s campus.

A video circulating online captured a moment between the siblings, showing Seyi Tinubu helping Olayinka adjust his graduation gown ahead of the ceremony.

Low-profile lifestyle

Unlike his brother Seyi, who has remained visible in political circles, Olayinka has largely stayed out of the public spotlight.

One of his few public appearances in recent years was in May 2023, when he accompanied his father to the Presidential Villa during the formal handover from former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Debate over foreign education

The development has again stirred conversations around Nigerian leaders sending their children abroad for education.

Some Nigerians have criticised the trend, arguing that it reflects a lack of confidence in the country’s education system.

There have also been calls for policies that would require public officials to enrol their children in local institutions, though no concrete action has been taken.
