President Bola Tinubu arrived in Lagos on Thursday evening to observe Easter and inaugurate projects, following a condolence visit to Plateau State.
Tinubu had earlier departed Jos, the capital of Plateau State, where he commiserated with victims and families affected by the recent deadly attack in Angwan Rukuba.
His aircraft touched down at the Presidential Wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport at about 7:20 p.m.
He was received by the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, alongside senior government officials and other dignitaries.
Tinubu is expected to inaugurate key infrastructure projects executed by the Sanwo-Olu administration.
“These projects reflect our commitment to development and improved living standards,” Sanwo-Olu said ahead of the ceremonies.
Among the projects slated for inauguration is the Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge, expected to ease traffic congestion across the metropolis.
Also scheduled are the Lagos State Geographic Information System Building and a Multi-Agency Complex named after Tinubu.
A newly completed school complex will also be inaugurated during Tinubu’s stay in Lagos.
Earlier in a statement, presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga outlined further engagements for the president.

According to Onanuga, Tinubu will travel to Ogun on Saturday to inaugurate the Gateway International Cargo Airport.
He will also inaugurate two commercial aircraft designated for export and import operations to boost economic activities.
“The initiatives are aimed at strengthening trade and logistics nationwide,” Onanuga stated.
The president will further inaugurate the new headquarters of the Federal Operations Unit of the Nigeria Customs Service.
He is also expected to unveil a fleet of operational vehicles to enhance the service’s efficiency.
Tinubu will thereafter return to Lagos to continue the Easter holiday before proceeding to Bayelsa State on April 10.
In Bayelsa State, Tinubu will inaugurate projects executed by Governor Douye Diri’s administration.
The president is expected to return to Abuja at the end of his official engagements.
