President Bola Tinubu will visit Benue State on Wednesday to address the ongoing violence in the state.

Tinubu announced the planned visit during the inauguration of the Greater Abuja Water Supply Network in the nation’s capital.

The president’s Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, subsequently confirmed that his principal postponed a scheduled visit to Kaduna to visit Benue “as part of renewed efforts to foster peace and address the persistent conflict affecting communities in the state”.

Onanuga added, “The President’s visit aims to assess firsthand the recurring crisis that has claimed numerous lives and caused significant destruction.

“During his stay, President Tinubu will meet with all stakeholders—including traditional rulers, political, religious, community leaders, and youth groups—to seek lasting solutions to the 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.
