Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has assured that residents will warmly receive President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his visit to the state today, Saturday, October 4, 2025.

Mutfwang gave the assurance on Friday during the Distinguished Alumni Lecture of the University of Jos, delivered by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi.

President Tinubu is visiting Plateau for the burial of Nana Lydia Yilwatda, mother of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.

“Tomorrow, we will be receiving Mr. President in Jos, Plateau State, as he comes to honour our late mother, the mother of my dear brother, the National Chairman of the APC,” Mutfwang said.

The governor described Plateau as one of Nigeria’s most hospitable states, endowed with immense human and natural potential.

“We cannot realise our full potential if we continue to pull one another down. We must remain our brothers’ keepers and work collectively to bring Plateau to the place of honour that God has destined for us,” he added.

Mutfwang also commended the AGF for what he termed a “sound and impeccable” lecture, noting that it provided valuable insights into how technology can strengthen Nigeria’s justice delivery system.

Meanwhile, the Plateau State Government has announced temporary road closures in parts of Jos and Bukuru to ensure smooth movement during the President’s visit.

In a statement on Friday, Commissioner for Information Joyce Ramnap said the restrictions were to facilitate Tinubu’s attendance at the burial ceremony and ease traffic congestion.

Motorists were advised to use alternative routes from 7 a.m. today, while residents were urged to cooperate with security agencies for a hitch-free visit.
