President Bola Tinubu has postponed his official visit to Kaduna State and will instead travel to Benue State on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. The visit forms part of renewed efforts to promote peace and address the ongoing crisis that has plagued several communities in the state. This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. According to Onanuga, the President’s visit is intended to provide a firsthand assessment of the recurring violence that has resulted in numerous deaths and widespread destruction. Tinubu was originally scheduled to visit Kaduna on Wednesday to inaugurate various state government projects. However, the Kaduna visit has now been rescheduled to Thursday, June 19, 2025. While in Benue, the President will engage with key stakeholders, including traditional rulers, political leaders, religious figures, community heads, and youth representatives, in a bid to find lasting solutions to the conflict. “In preparation for the visit, President Tinubu has already deployed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Inspector General of Police, top intelligence officials, the National Security Adviser, and the Chairmen of the Senate and House Defence Committees to Benue,” the statement said. The President is also expected to hold a town hall meeting with stakeholders during the visit. Tinubu has previously condemned the violence in Benue and urged leaders and residents to embrace peace, love, and mutual understanding. He also offered his condolences to the families of victims and others affected by the crisis.
