President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived in Jigawa State for an official visit scheduled to feature the commissioning of four development projects and his participation in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally.
The President’s visit to Dutse, the state capital, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, marks his first official working visit to Jigawa since assuming office in May 2023.
Governor Umar Namadi had earlier confirmed the visit, explaining that the state government had concluded arrangements to receive the President. He also disclosed that the projects selected for commissioning were strategically located within Dutse to accommodate the President’s schedule.
The four projects include the Renewed Hope Technical Services Centre, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multipurpose Skills Acquisition Centre, the state’s agricultural mechanisation programme and the dualisation of Garu Road in Dutse.
The agricultural mechanisation programme features 400 tractors, 60 combine harvesters, 150 boom sprayers and 150 seeders, alongside other farming equipment intended to support agricultural production and improve farmers’ productivity.
Governor Namadi explained that although his administration had completed several other projects across the state’s 27 local government areas, the four initiatives were selected for inauguration because of the limited time available for the presidential visit.
The President is also expected to address APC supporters at the presidential campaign rally as the party intensifies preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Security arrangements have been strengthened across Dutse, with personnel from various security agencies deployed to strategic locations to ensure a peaceful visit.
The Jigawa State Government also declared Tuesday a public holiday to enable residents to participate in the presidential activities.
