President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday on a working visit to Borno, Bauchi and Lagos States as part of a series of official and personal engagements across the country.
While in Borno State, the President will commission several projects executed by the administration of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum in collaboration with the Federal Government, reflecting ongoing efforts at post-conflict recovery, infrastructure development and governance in the state.
President Tinubu will also attend the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of a former Governor of Borno State and former Senator, Ali Modu Sheriff, and his bride, Hadiza Kam Salem, in Maiduguri.
From Borno, the President will proceed to Bauchi State to condole with the Bauchi State Government and the family of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, the late Islamic scholar, respected Muslim cleric and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, whose influence spanned decades across Nigeria and beyond. Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi died on November 27.
After the condolence visit, President Tinubu will travel to Lagos State, where he is expected to spend the end-of-year holidays and attend several official and cultural engagements.
Among his engagements in Lagos, the President is scheduled to be the guest of honour at the Eyo Festival holding on December 27 at Tafawa Balewa Square. The festival will honour notable personalities, including President Tinubu’s mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, as well as former Lagos State governors, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Michael Otedola, in recognition of their contributions to the state’s history and development.
