President Bola Tinubu will today begin a nine-day four-state visit to Plateau, Lagos, Ogun and Bayelsa states.

Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement, said the president’s initial trip on Friday to Iperu, Ogun State, to flag off operations at Gateway International Cargo Airport had been postponed by a day.

Onanuga said Tinubu will now 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.

From Plateau, the president will travel to Lagos to observe Good Friday.

On Saturday, April 4, Tinubu will travel to Ogun State for the inauguration 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.

He will also inaugurate the new edifice of Federal Operations Unit of Nigerian Customs Service and its operational vehicles.

The president will thereafter return to Lagos to continue the Easter holiday, during which he would inaugurate projects undertaken by the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

They include the iconic Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge; Lagos State Geographic Information System Building; Multi-Agency Complex named after the president, and a school complex.

Before returning to Abuja, Tinubu will visit Bayelsa State on April 10 to inaugurate some projects completed by Governor Duoye Diri.

Sanwo-Olu, while hinting at the visit, inspected some of the newly constructed projects, including Tolu Schools Complex in the Ajegunle area of the state.

He said barring any last-minute change, Tinubu was expected to commission the 36 schools in the Tolu Schools Complex built by the Sanwo-Olu administration.

The newly built Tolu Schools Complex in the Ajegunle community comprises 16 junior and 15 senior secondary schools, as well as five primary schools with a population of over 20,000 students.

The schools complex is bordered by the lagoon and is built on 11.73 hectares of land. It has many sporting facilities, such as football field, basketball and volleyball courts, among other sporting and social amenities.

It is the largest school community in the whole of Africa.

Sanwo-Olu, during the inspection of the schools, which lasted for over two hours, reiterated his administration’s commitment to infrastructure development as well as quality and affordable education for Lagos students.
