President Bola Tinubu has just arrived in Jos, the Plateau State capital, to attend the burial ceremony of Nana Lydia Yilwada, mother of Prof. Nentawe Yilwada, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Tinubu, who arrived in Jos at around 2pm, has moved to the COCIN headquarters church, where the funeral service for the late chairman’s mother is currently ongoing.
Our correspondent gathered that heightened security measures are currently in place around Jos, the Plateau State capital, as locals anticipate the president’s arrival.
Security officers from several agencies, such as the Nigerian Police Force, Nigerian Army, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, and Federal Road Safety Corps, were deployed in large numbers to secure main routes and the event area.
The precautions are being implemented to ensure the president’s safety and a smooth visit.
Our correspondent reports that the Plateau State Government had previously announced temporary road closures in the Jos and Bukuru metropolises to facilitate the president’s visit, with other routes available for motorists.
The closures impacted routes such as Mararaban Jama’a to Bukuru Expressway, Dadin-kowa to Plateau Hospital Roundabout, and Hillstation Roundabout to COCIN Headquarters/Central Bank Road.
