President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Lagos to observe Easter and inaugurate projects by the state government.
President Tinubu’s arrival in Lagos State on Thursday evening followed a condolence visit to Plateau State earlier in the day.
He had departed Jos, the Plateau State capital, where he commiserated with victims and families affected by the recent deadly attack in Angwan Rukuba.
His aircraft touched down at the Presidential Wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 7:20pm.
He was received by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, alongside other senior government officials and dignitaries.
During his Plateau State visit, Tinubu met bereaved families, former governors, traditional rulers, and top government officials to assess the situation.
He directed security agencies to track down and apprehend those responsible for the killings.
“The perpetrators must be brought to justice,” the President said, assuring affected communities of the government’s commitment to restoring peace.
The visit formed part of efforts to address the crisis and reassure residents of improved security measures.
While in Lagos, Tinubu is expected to inaugurate key infrastructure projects executed by the Sanwo-Olu administration.
“These projects reflect our commitment to development and improved living standards,” Sanwo-Olu said ahead of the ceremonies.
Among the projects slated for inauguration is the Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge, expected to ease traffic congestion across the metropolis.
Also scheduled are the Lagos State Geographic Information System Building and a Multi-Agency Complex named after the President.
A newly completed school complex will also be inaugurated during Tinubu’s stay in Lagos.
Earlier in a statement, Presidential Spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, outlined further engagements for Tinubu.
According to Onanuga, Tinubu will travel to Ogun State on Saturday to inaugurate the Gateway International Cargo Airport.
He will also inaugurate two commercial aircraft designated for export and import operations to boost economic activities.
“The initiatives are aimed at strengthening trade and logistics nationwide,” Onanuga said.
The President will further inaugurate the new headquarters of the Federal Operations Unit of the Nigeria Customs Service.
He is also expected to unveil a fleet of operational vehicles to enhance the service’s efficiency.
Tinubu will thereafter return to Lagos to continue the Easter holiday before proceeding to Bayelsa State on April 10.
There, he will inaugurate projects executed by the Governor Douye Diri administration.
The President is expected to return to Abuja at the end of his official engagements.
