President Bola Tinubu will depart Abuja on Saturday for a three-state visit to Borno, Bauchi, and Lagos, where he will spend the end-of-year holidays.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, announced this late Friday.
The president’s first stop will be Maiduguri, Borno State, where he is scheduled to commission projects executed by Governor Babagana Zulum’s administration and the Federal Government.
While in Borno, Tinubu will also attend the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Governor Ali Modu Sheriff, and his fiancee, Hadiza Kam Salem.
From Maiduguri, the president will proceed to Bauchi State to condole with the state government and the family of the late Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, a renowned Muslim cleric and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood who died on November 27.
After the condolence visit, Tinubu will travel to Lagos to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays.
