Before the visit, the state government had renamed the Dr Abubakar Imam International Airport Minna as the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport ahead of its commissioning by the President today.
  
This was disclosed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Governance and Reform, Dr Isah Adamu, while giving update on the visit.
  
During the visit, Mamman disclosed, Tinubu is expected to inaugurate some notable projects, including the remodelled and upgraded terminal at Minna International Airport, originally a Federal Government initiative, adding that the project had faced delays prompting Governor Bago’s administration to take over the control of the project, to expedite completion after consultation with relevant authorities.
