President Bola Tinubu will visit Katsina State on Friday for a one day working tour, marking his first official trip to the state since assuming office in 2023.
Dr Bala Salisu Zango, the State Commissioner for Information, disclosed this during a press briefing on Wednesday in Katsina, stating that the President will commission two major projects delivered by the administration of Governor Dikko Radda.
Top on the agenda is the commissioning of the newly completed Eastern Bypass, a strategic road stretching from Dutsinma through Kano and Daura roads to Yandaki in Kaita Local Government Area.
Also scheduled for inauguration is the state-of-the-art Agricultural Mechanisation Centre.
Salisu Zango described the visit as a milestone for the people of Katsina and a chance for the state to present its pressing issues, especially insecurity, directly to the President.
He urged residents to come out in large numbers to give President Tinubu a warm welcome and to ensure orderliness during the visit.
