President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Saturday embark on a three-state visit covering Borno, Bauchi and Lagos States, before proceeding to Lagos to spend the end-of-year holidays.
According to a statement from the State House, the President will begin the trip in Borno State, where he is scheduled to commission a number of projects executed by the administration of Governor Babagana Zulum in collaboration with the Federal Government.
While in Maiduguri, 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 Borno, the President will travel to Bauchi State for a condolence visit to the state government and the family of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, the renowned Islamic scholar and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, who died on November 27.
After the condolence engagement, Tinubu will proceed to Lagos, where he is expected to spend the forthcoming festive season.
During his stay in Lagos, the President is slated to serve as Guest of Honour at the Eyo Festival scheduled for December 27. The festival, which will hold at the Tafawa Balewa Square, will honour notable personalities, including Tinubu’s late mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, as well as former Lagos State governors Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Michael Otedola.
The visit forms part of the President’s official and ceremonial engagements as the year draws to a close.
