President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his original trip to Iperu, Ogun State, tomorrow to inaugurate operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport. Instead, he will travel to Jos, Plateau State, on Thursday to offer his condolences to the government and people of the state over recent deadly attacks that claimed innocent lives.
A statement by the President’s Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday said the visit is to commiserate with the government and people of the state over the recent gun attacks, which claimed the lives of innocent citizens.
From Plateau, the President will travel to Lagos to observe Good Friday.
On Saturday, April 4, President Tinubu will travel to Ogun State for the commissioning of the Cargo Airport and the inauguration of two commercial aircraft for the export and import of goods, aimed at boosting the state’s economic growth.
He will also inaugurate the new edifice of the Federal Operations Unit of the Nigerian Customs Service and its operational vehicles.
President Tinubu will return to Lagos to continue the Easter holiday, during which he is also expected to commission infrastructure projects undertaken by the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
These include: the iconic Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge; the Lagos State Geographic Information System Building; the Multi-Agency Complex named after the President, and a school Complex.
Before returning to Abuja, President Tinubu will visit Bayelsa State on April 10 to commission some of Governor Duoye Diri’s completed projects.
