The president will be in Lagos for two days (Monday and Tuesday) to inaugurate several projects.

Security personnel from the army, navy, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), police, and air force, among several others, were at strategic locations at the presidential wing awaiting the president’s arrival.
