Kaduna On Lockdown As Tinubu Flags Off Major Developments Today

The visit, originally scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed due to the President’s emergency trip to Benue State following deadly attacks in Yelewata, Guma LGA, which claimed over 100 lives.

During his visit to Kaduna, President Tinubu will unveil a number of critical infrastructure and development initiatives, including:

• A 300-bed Specialist Hospital in Millennium City

• The Institute of Vocational Training and Skills Development in Rigachikun

• Road projects in Soba and Samaru Kataf LGAs

• The 24-kilometre Kafanchan Township Road

• Tudun Biri Road

• A 22km Kauru–Kubau link road

• A Vocational and Skills Centre in Tudun Biri

In addition, he will launch 100 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses, part of an effort to modernise public transportation and promote cleaner energy alternatives.

Governor Uba Sani, who took office in 2023, has prioritised healthcare, job creation, youth empowerment, and rural development. The Kaduna State Government has described the President’s visit as a major milestone and a platform to highlight the administration’s achievements.

It will be recalled that Tinubu had postponed his Kaduna trip by one day to visit Benue State, where he met with traditional rulers, political stakeholders, and community leaders in Makurdi. During the visit, he strongly condemned the violence and assured victims of federal support.

The Benue State Government declared a work-free day to honour the President’s visit and called on residents to come out in solidarity.
