ABUJA, NIGERIA, 01 April 2026 (NPA) — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has abruptly postponed his scheduled trip to Iperu, Ogun State, where he was due to flag off operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport. Instead, he will travel to Jos, Plateau State, to commiserate with the government and people following recent gun attacks that claimed innocent lives.

According to a statement signed by Presidential Adviser Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu will proceed from Plateau to Lagos to observe Good Friday. On Saturday, 4 April, he will head to Ogun State for the commissioning of the Cargo Airport and the inauguration of two commercial aircraft to boost economic growth.

The President is also expected to unveil the new Federal Operations Unit building of the Nigerian Customs Service and its operational vehicles.

Back in Lagos, Tinubu will commission several infrastructure projects by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration, including the Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge, the Lagos State Geographic Information System Building, a Multi-Agency Complex named after him, and a school complex.

Before returning to Abuja, Tinubu will visit Bayelsa State on 10 April to commission projects completed by Governor Duoye Diri.
