ABUJA, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua arrived back in Abuja on Friday after a four-day trip to Saudi Arabia, one of his aides said.

"We have just arrived ... everybody is fine," said presidential aide Sanni Mohammed.

Yar'Adua has travelled to Saudi Arabia in the past to seek medical treatment for a chronic kidney problem, raising concerns about his health every time he returns to the Gulf Arab kingdom.

The presidency said this week's trip was a "working visit" to meet with King Abdullah and top Saudi government officials. The presidency did not comment on whether Yar'Adua had visited a hospital during the visit.

Nigeria and Saudi Arabia are among the world's top oil producers.
