President Bola Tinubu has rescheduled his official
visit to Kaduna State. Instead, he will travel to Benue State on Wednesday,
June 18, 2025, as part of renewed efforts to foster peace and address the
persistent conflict affecting communities in the state.
The President’s visit aims to assess firsthand the
recurring crisis that has claimed numerous lives and caused significant
destruction.
During his stay, President Tinubu will meet with all
stakeholders—including traditional rulers, political, religious, community
leaders, and youth groups—to seek lasting solutions to the hostilities.
In preparation for the visit, President Tinubu has
already dispatched the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the
Inspector General of Police, heads of intelligence agencies, the National
Security Adviser, and the Chairmen of the Senate and House Defence Committees
to Benue State.
The President is expected to hold a town hall meeting
with all stakeholders during the visit.
President Tinubu has previously condemned the ongoing
violence in Benue State and called on all leaders and residents to embrace
peace, love, and mutual understanding. He extended his heartfelt condolences to
the families of the victims and to all those who have suffered losses as a
result of the crisis.
According to his itinerary released over the weekend,
President Tinubu was scheduled to visit Kaduna State on Wednesday to commission
various state government projects. However, the official visit will now occur
on Thursday, June 19, 2025.
