President Bola Tinubu has postponed his Thursday trip to
Iperu in Ogun state, where he is expected to inaugurate operations at the
Gateway International Cargo Airport.
In a statement on Wednesday, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser
to the president on information and strategy, said Tinubu will instead travel
to Jos, capital of Plateau state, to commiserate with residents over recent gun
attacks that claimed the lives of civilians.
Onanuga said the president’s visit is aimed at sympathising
with the state government and families affected by the attacks.
According to the presidential spokesperson, Tinubu will
travel to Lagos from Jos to observe the Good Friday holiday.
“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,” the statement reads.
“He will also inaugurate the new edifice of the Federal
Operations Unit of the Nigerian Customs Service and its operational vehicles.
“He 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.”
Earlier on Wednesday, the president received Caleb Mutfwang,
governor of Plateau, at the State House, where he was briefed on the Sunday
evening attack at Angwan Rukuba in Jos north LGA.
