All arrangements have been concluded for the visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Jos, where he is expected to commiserate with the government and people of Plateau State following recent attacks that left several persons dead and others injured.
The President is scheduled to meet with leaders of various communities in the state as part of efforts to address the crisis and explore lasting solutions to the violence.
Security has been significantly heightened across key locations in the state, particularly at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, where officials and dignitaries are expected to receive the President.
The visit follows the President’s decision to postpone his earlier planned trip to Iperu in Ogun State, where he was to inaugurate operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport.
The change in itinerary was confirmed in a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who stated that the President prioritised the Plateau visit in response to the recent attacks.
According to the statement, Tinubu will proceed to Lagos after the visit to observe Good Friday.
The visit is widely seen as part of ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to restore peace and stability in Plateau State.
