President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Saturday depart Abuja on an official visit to Borno, Bauchi and Lagos states, according to a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The President’s first stop will be Borno State, where he is scheduled to commission several projects executed by the state government under Governor Babagana Zulum in collaboration with the Federal Government. While in Maiduguri, President Tinubu will also attend the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff.
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 revered Islamic scholar and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, who passed away on November 27.
After the condolence visit, President Tinubu will travel to Lagos State, where he will spend the end-of-year holidays. During his stay in the commercial capital, the President is expected to participate in several engagements, including serving as the guest of honour at the annual Eyo Festival slated for December 27.
The festival, scheduled to hold at the Tafawa Balewa Square, will celebrate notable personalities, including President Tinubu’s late mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, as well as former Lagos State governors Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Michael Otedola.
The statement was signed by Bayo Onanuga on December 19, 2025.
