Plateau Killings: Tinubu meets Mutfwang in Aso Rock, visits Jos today

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday, received Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The visit comes three days after the deadly Palm Sunday attack in Angwan Rukuba district of Jos, which left no fewer than 28 people dead.

According to the State House media office, the governor arrived at the Presidential Villa at about 6:45 p.m.

The meeting followed an earlier directive by the President summoning the governor for discussions over the worsening security situation in the North-Central state.

The Wednesday meeting focused on immediate security measures to prevent further attacks in Plateau State.

Meanwhile, President Tinubu will on Thursday visit Jos, the Plateau State capital.

Originally scheduled to visit Ogun State, the President will instead head to the North-Central state to commiserate with the government and people over the recent attacks.

Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today postponed his scheduled trip to Iperu, Ogun State, tomorrow to flag off operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport,” Onanuga said.

“Instead, he will 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 proceed to Lagos to observe the Good Friday holiday.

On Saturday, Tinubu will travel to Ogun State for the commissioning of the Gateway International Cargo Airport, he will also inaugurate two commercial aircraft designated for export and import operations aimed at boosting the state’s economic growth.

During the Ogun visit, the President is scheduled to inaugurate the new edifice of the Federal Operations Unit of the Nigeria Customs Service.

He will also inaugurate operational vehicles to enhance the service’s efficiency in trade facilitation and border management.

Tinubu will thereafter return to Lagos to continue the Easter holiday and undertake additional official engagements.

While in Lagos, the President is expected to commission key infrastructure projects executed by the administration of Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

These include the Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge, the Lagos State Geographic Information System Building, and a Multi-Agency Complex named after the President.

He will also inaugurate a school complex as part of efforts to improve educational infrastructure in the state.

Before returning to Abuja, Tinubu is scheduled to visit Bayelsa on April 10 for the commissioning of projects.

The projects were completed by the administration of Gov. Duoye Diri.

The four-state tour is expected to combine condolence visits with commissioning of infrastructure projects across different sectors.
