On Thursday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrived in Kaduna State for a one-day working visit centered on commissioning a wide array of developmental projects aimed at transforming the state’s rural and urban infrastructure.
Touching down at the Nigerian Air Force Base in Kaduna, the President was warmly welcomed by Governor Uba Sani, members of the state executive council, traditional leaders, and other prominent dignitaries. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as the President began his official tour almost immediately after his arrival.
President Tinubu’s first stop was Rigachikun, a community in Igabi Local Government Area, where he is slated to inaugurate various critical infrastructure projects.
