The visit was announced in a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, the President will begin his trip in Borno State, where he is scheduled to commission projects executed by the Babagana Zulum-led state government in collaboration with the Federal Government.
While in Maiduguri, Tinubu will also attend the wedding ceremony of Sadeeq Sheriff, son of former Borno State governor and senator, Ali Modu Sheriff, and his bride, Hadiza Kam Salem.
From Borno, the President will proceed to Bauchi State to pay a condolence visit to the Bauchi State Government and the family of the late Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, a renowned Islamic scholar and leader of the Tijjaniyya Muslim Brotherhood, who died on November 27.
“From Maiduguri, the President will move to Bauchi to condole with the Government of Bauchi State and the family of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi,” the statement read in part.
Following the condolence visit, Tinubu will travel to Lagos State, where he is expected to spend the end-of-year holidays.
