President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his scheduled trip to Iperu, Ogun State, tomorrow to flag off operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport.
Instead, he will head to Jos, capital of Plateau state, to commiserate with the government and people of the state over the recent gun attacks, which claimed the lives of innocent citizens.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, had visited the Aso Rock Presidential to brief President Tinubu on the ongoing crisis in the state on Wednesday evening.
Onanuga in the statement said 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, the statement added.
He will also inaugurate the new edifice of the Federal Operations Unit of the Nigerian Customs Service and its operational vehicles, according to the statement.
The President 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.
