President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived in Lagos State to mark the end-of-year holiday period, following official engagements in Borno and Bauchi states. He was received at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, alongside senior government officials and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The President’s visit to Lagos comes after a multi-state tour that began in Abuja. While in Borno State, Tinubu commissioned several development projects executed by the state government in partnership with the Federal Government. He also attended a high-profile wedding ceremony in Maiduguri, further highlighting the social and official nature of his visit to the North-East.
Tinubu later travelled to Bauchi State, where he paid a condolence visit to the state government and the family of the late Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who passed away in November. After concluding those engagements, the President proceeded to Lagos, where he is expected to participate in various activities during the festive season.
One of the major events on his schedule is the Eyo Festival, set to hold on December 27 at the Tafawa Balewa Square. The cultural celebration will honour notable figures in Lagos history, including Tinubu’s late mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, as well as former Lagos State Governors Lateef Jakande and Michael Otedola.
