President Bola Tinubu is expected in Bauchi on Saturday for a condolence visit, prompting the state government to announce temporary road closures across parts of the capital.
The visit is to honour the late Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, as the President meets with his family and followers during the stop in the state.
The Bauchi State Government said several major routes leading to the cleric’s mosque and nearby strategic areas will be shut or diverted to control movement and ensure order.
The restrictions will take effect between 1pm and 6pm on Saturday, a period set aside for the presidential activities and related security arrangements.
Officials explained that the decision was taken to protect residents, manage traffic flow, and allow security agencies to carry out their duties without disruption.
Residents have been advised to plan ahead, follow traffic directives, avoid restricted areas, and remain calm, as Tinubu continues a three-state tour that includes Borno, Bauchi, and Lagos.
