President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Saturday depart Abuja on official visits to Borno, Bauchi and Lagos States as part of his scheduled engagements ahead of the end-of-year holidays.

According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President will begin the trip in Borno State, where he is expected to commission projects executed by the Borno State Government under Governor Babagana Zulum, alongside selected Federal Government initiatives.

While in Maiduguri, President Tinubu will also attend the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno State Governor, 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 Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, the respected Islamic scholar and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, who died on November 27.

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

During his stay in Lagos, the President will participate in several engagements, including attending the Eyo Festival scheduled for December 27, where he will serve as Guest of Honour.

The festival, which will take place at Tafawa Balewa Square, 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.
