Buhari begins two-day visit to Lagos Monday

President Muhammadu Buhari will begin a two-day working visit to Lagos on Monday.

The state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Ayorinde said this would be Buhari’s first official visit to the state since he assumed office on May 29 last year.

The commissioner said the President, during the visit, would formally commission the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Rescue Unit, at Cappa, near Oshodi.


He said the Rescue Unit was built by the state government to ensure prompt and swift response to emergency situations.

Ayorinde said President Buhari would thereafter commission the newly-constructed Ago Palace Way in Okota, Isolo, and later pay homage to Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu.

According to the commissioner, the President would be hosted to a reception at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, on same day.
