President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his scheduled visit to Iperu in Ogun State, where he was billed to flag off operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport, opting instead to travel to Jos, the capital of Plateau State, to commiserate with victims of recent gun attacks in the state.
The President’s change of itinerary follows deadly attacks in parts of Plateau State that reportedly claimed the lives of several innocent citizens, sparking national concern and renewed calls for improved security.
According to the revised schedule, President Tinubu will meet with the Plateau State government and community leaders in Jos to express condolences and assess the security situation on the ground.
The visit is expected to include consultations with security chiefs and stakeholders as part of efforts to address the recurring violence in the region.
From Plateau, the President will proceed to Lagos to observe Good Friday and continue Easter activities.
On Saturday, April 4, he will travel back to Ogun State to commission the Gateway International Cargo Airport in Iperu. The project is designed to enhance cargo handling capacity and boost trade and logistics within the state and beyond.

During the visit, the President is also expected to inaugurate two commercial aircraft designated for export and import operations, part of the state government’s broader economic development strategy.
While in Ogun State, President Tinubu will commission the new edifice of the Federal Operations Unit of the Nigeria Customs Service, along with its operational vehicles.
He will subsequently return to Lagos to continue the Easter holiday period, during which he is scheduled to commission several infrastructure projects undertaken by the administration of 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 newly completed school complex.
Before returning to Abuja, President Tinubu is also expected to visit Bayelsa State on April 10 to commission projects completed by Governor Duoye Diri.
The President’s engagements across Plateau, Ogun, Lagos, and Bayelsa states underscore a mix of condolence visits, economic initiatives, and infrastructure commissioning activities scheduled around the Easter period.
