President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has just arrived Jos, the Plateau state capital.
Tinubu, who arrived around 2 pm, is in Jos to attend the burial ceremony of Nana Lydia Yilwada, mother of Prof. Nentawe Yilwada, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress. He moved to the COCIN headquarters church, where the funeral service for the late chairman’s mother is currently ongoing.
Our correspondent reports that heightened security measures are currently evident across the city of Jos, the Plateau state capital, as the people await the arrival of the President.
Security personnel from various agencies, including the Nigerian Police Force, Nigerian Army, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, and Federal Road Safety Corps, were deployed in significant numbers to secure major routes and the event venue.
The measures are being implemented to ensure the safety of the President and facilitate a smooth visit.
Our correspondent reports that the Plateau State Government had earlier announced temporary road closures in Jos and Bukuru metropolis to accommodate the Presidential visit, with alternative routes provided for motorists.
The closures affected routes such as Mararaban Jama’a through Bukuru Expressway, Dadin-kowa to Plateau Hospital Roundabout, and Hillstation Roundabout to COCIN Headquarters/Central Bank Road.
