President Bola Tinubu will on Saturday depart Abuja on a three-state visit covering Borno, Bauchi and Lagos states, the Presidency has announced.

In a statement issued on Friday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President will begin the trip in Borno State, where he is scheduled to commission several projects executed by the Borno State Government under 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 proceed to Bauchi State to pay a condolence visit to the state government and the family of the late Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi. The respected Muslim cleric and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood died on November 27.

After the condolence visit, President Tinubu will travel to Lagos State, where he will spend the end-of-year holidays.

During his stay in Lagos, the President is expected to attend several engagements, including serving as guest of honour at the Eyo Festival scheduled for 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.
