President Bola Tinubu will pay a one-day working visit to Katsina State on Friday.

The state Commissioner for Information, Dr Bala Salisu-Zango, made the disclosure during a press briefing on Wednesday in Katsina.

He said that the President would inaugurate two out of the numerous projects executed by the Governor Dikko Radda-led administration.

The commissioner said that the projects billed for inauguration include the Eastern Bypass, stretching from Dutsin-ma Road, through Kano and Daura Roads, and terminated at Yandaki, in the Kaita Local Government Area of the state.

According to him, the President will also inaugurate the state Agricultural Mechanisation Centre.

The commissioner noted that the President’s visit would be the first to the state since he assumed office in 2023.

Mr Salisu-Zango noted that the visit would also be an opportunity for the state to discuss some of its challenges, especially insecurity with the President.

The commissioner, therefore, urged residents of the state to come out en masse to welcome Mr President and be law-abiding.
