By Kazeem Ugbodaga

President Bola Tinubu has postponed his planned visit to Iperu, Ogun State, earlier scheduled for Thursday, opting instead to begin a four-state tour with a condolence visit to Jos, following recent deadly attacks in Plateau State.

The President is expected to sympathise with the state government and residents over the gun attacks that claimed several lives.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu will proceed to Lagos after the Plateau visit to observe Good Friday.

He is scheduled to travel to Ogun State on Saturday, April 4, for the commissioning of the Gateway International Cargo Airport in Iperu, alongside the inauguration of two commercial aircraft to support import and export activities.

The visit will also include the commissioning of a new Federal Operations Unit facility of the Nigerian Customs Service, as well as operational vehicles aimed at strengthening trade logistics.

Tinubu will return to Lagos to continue the Easter holiday, during which he is expected to inaugurate several infrastructure projects delivered by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The projects include the Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge, the Lagos State Geographic Information System building, a multi-agency complex named after the President, and a school complex.

The President is also billed to visit Bayelsa State on April 10 to commission projects executed by Governor Duoye Diri before returning to Abuja.
