President Bola Tinubu touched down in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State, on Tuesday as part of his scheduled visit to Yelwata, a community in the Guma Local Government Area.
Tinubu arrived at the Nigerian Air Force’s Tactical Air Command base around 12:58 p.m.
The visit comes in the wake of deadly attacks in the area. Tinubu is expected to hold talks with key stakeholders in the state to address the security crisis and its impact on local communities.
In anticipation of the president’s arrival, the Benue state government declared a public holiday to mark the occasion.
