President Bola Tinubu made his first working visit to Jigawa on Tuesday, where he inaugurated a vocational training centre and a technical centre, and unveiled 400 agricultural tractors in Dutse. For the Tinubu Foundation for Sustainable Governance, the mobilisation around the rally reflects growing support for his re-election in 2027, according to its director of special missions, Usman Elleman.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu inaugurated 400 tractors and other agricultural equipment in Dutse, Jigawa State, during a visit focused in particular on his economic reforms and campaign for the 2027 general election, reports Punch. He also inaugurated the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multi-Purpose Skills Acquisition Centre and the Renewed Hope Technical Services Centre.
Tinubu virtually inaugurated a three-kilometre road linking Old Police Station to Palace Road in Dutse. It was his first working visit to Jigawa State since taking office on 29 May 2023, according to Punch.
At Dutse Township Stadium, the president defended the removal of the fuel subsidy and said his economic reforms were beginning to produce results and gain greater acceptance.
