President Bola Tinubu has postponed his scheduled trip to Iperu, Ogun State, where he was to flag off operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport, opting instead to begin a multi-state visit with a condolence trip to Jos, the capital of Plateau State.
The schedule change, according to the Presidency, is in response to the recent wave of gun attacks in Plateau State that claimed the lives of several innocent citizens.
The President will visit Jos to commiserate with the state government and affected communities, as well as assess the security situation firsthand.
Following the Plateau visit, President Tinubu will proceed to Lagos, where he is expected to observe the Good Friday and continue with Easter engagements.
The President will thereafter travel to Ogun State on Saturday, April 4, to perform the postponed commissioning of the Gateway International Cargo Airport in Iperu.
During the visit, he will also inaugurate two commercial aircraft designated for cargo operations, a move aimed at strengthening logistics capacity and boosting trade and economic growth in the state.
In addition, President Tinubu will commission the newly constructed Federal Operations Unit of the Nigeria Customs Service, alongside its fleet of operational vehicles, as part of efforts to enhance border security and trade facilitation.
Returning to Lagos for the remainder of the Easter holiday, the President is also scheduled to commission a series of major infrastructure projects executed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
These include the iconic Ojota-Opebi Link Bridge, the Lagos State Geographic Information System Building, a Multi-Agency Complex named in his honour, and a newly completed school complex.
As part of the broader tour, President Tinubu will conclude his engagements with a visit to Bayelsa State on April 10, where he is expected to commission key projects delivered by Governor Douye Diri before returning to Abuja.
