The change in schedule was announced in a statement released on Monday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

According to him, Tinubu was scheduled to visit Kaduna State on Wednesday to commission various state government projects.

However, the official visit will now occur on Thursday, June 19, 2025.

While in Benue, President Tinubu will engage with key stakeholders, including traditional rulers, political figures, religious leaders, community representatives, and youth groups to seek enduring solutions to the ongoing hostilities

“In preparation for the visit, President Tinubu has already dispatched the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Inspector General of Police, heads of intelligence agencies, the National Security Adviser, and the Chairmen of the Senate and House Defence Committees to Benue State.

“The President is expected to hold a town hall meeting with all stakeholders during the visit,” the statement read.

The President has consistently condemned the violence plaguing Benue State and has urged leaders and residents to embrace peace, unity, and mutual respect. He also extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of victims and all those affected by the crisis.
