President Tinubu To Unveil Projects In Kaduna

President Bola Tinubu is anticipated to arrive in Kaduna State on Thursday (today) to launch several significant developmental initiatives undertaken by Governor Uba Sani’s administration.

It indicated that this visit is part of the events commemorating Sani’s two years in office.

Among the projects scheduled for inauguration is the 300-bed Specialist Hospital in Millennium City, Kaduna, constructed by the state government to enhance healthcare service delivery.

Tinubu will also launch the Institute of Vocational Training and Skills Development in Rigachikun, road projects in Soba and Samaru Kataf Local Government Areas, and the 24-kilometre Kafanchan Township Road.

Other projects include the Tudun Biri Road, the 22km road connecting Kauru and Kubau LGAs, as well as the Vocational and Skills Training Centre in Tudun Biri.

Additionally, Tinubu is set to introduce 100 Compressed Natural Gas buses, as part of initiatives to modernize the state’s public transportation system.

These projects reflect the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, healthcare provision, youth empowerment, and economic progress.

The state government described the visit as a momentous occasion for Kaduna’s residents and a chance to highlight ongoing efforts to transform the state through effective governance.

Governor Sani, who celebrated his second year in office this month, has focused on human capital development, rural infrastructure, and job creation since assuming office in 2023.

Tinubu’s visit to Kaduna State was rescheduled from Wednesday to Thursday.

Originally planned for Wednesday, the visit was postponed due to recent attacks in Benue.

On Wednesday, the president visited Benue to express condolences to the victims of the recent attacks and evaluate the humanitarian situation.

In Benue, Tinubu engaged with stakeholders, including traditional rulers, political and community leaders, and youth groups, to explore lasting solutions to the conflicts.

He also denounced the persistent violence and urged residents to embrace peace and mutual understanding.

The News Agency of Nigeria notes that the Benue Government declared a work-free day for Tinubu’s visit, encouraging residents to turn out in large numbers to welcome him.
