The Katsina State Government has announced that President Bola Tinubu will embark on a one-day working visit to the state on Friday.
The visit would be the first of its kind by the President to the state since he assumed office in 2023.
Commissioner for Information and Culture, Bala Salisu Zango, made the disclosure on Wednesday during a press conference held at the Katsina Government House Press Centre.
Zango revealed that during the visit, President Tinubu is expected to inaugurate two major projects initiated by the administration of Governor Dikko Radda.

According to Zango, the visit would be an opportunity for the state to discuss some of its challenges, especially insecurity, with the President.
