The state Commissioner for Information, Dr Bala Salisu-Zango, made the disclosure during a press briefing on Wednesday in Katsina.
He said that the President would inaugurate two out of the numerous projects executed by the Governor Dikko Radda-led administration.

According to him, the President will also inaugurate the state Agricultural Mechanisation Centre.
The commissioner noted that the President’s visit would be the first to the state since he assumed office in 2023.
