President Muhammadu Buhari will visit Yola, Adamawa state capital, on Tuesday.

During his visit, the president is expected to inaugurate some projects and present an address at the opening of the state maiden anti-corruption summit.

Martins Babale, deputy governor and chairman, organising committee for the visit, said all necessary arrangements had been put in place.

Babale said the summit, themed ‘Performance Based Governance: Transparency, Accountability and Social Value’, would be chaired by Ahmed Joda.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has accepted to come here personally to declare the summit open, this is indeed historic for both Adamawa State and Nigeria as a country,” Babale said.

Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation, would be the lead discussant.

Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Bolaji Owasanoye, chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), are also expected to make presentations.

The state police command has announced restriction of movement by motorists on some streets during the president’s visit.

Othman Abubakar, the command’s spokesperson, said the measure was to allow for free flow of traffic for the presidential convoy.
