President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday for official visits to Borno, Bauchi and Lagos States as part of a three-state tour ahead of the end-of-year holidays.
In Borno State, the President is scheduled to commission several projects executed by the administration of Governor Babagana Zulum in collaboration with the Federal Government. During the visit, President Tinubu will also attend the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno State Governor and Senator, Ali Modu Sheriff, and his bride, Hadiza Kam Salem.
From Maiduguri, the President will proceed to Bauchi State, where he will pay a condolence visit to the Bauchi State Government and the family of the late Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, the renowned Islamic scholar and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood. Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi passed away on November 27.
Following the condolence visit, President Tinubu will travel to Lagos State, where he will spend the forthcoming end-of-year holidays.
While in Lagos, the President is expected to serve as the guest of honour at the Eyo Festival scheduled for December 27. The festival, which will take place at the Tafawa Balewa Square, is set to honour prominent individuals, including President Tinubu’s mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, as well as former Lagos State governors, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Michael Otedola.
The President’s visit underscores his continued engagement with states across the country while marking the festive season in his home state.
