On December 20, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu began his day in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, arriving to commission several projects. He praised Borno Governor Babagana Zulum for what he described as outstanding people-oriented initiatives during the event.
Later that day, Tinubu departed Maiduguri for Bauchi State. Upon arrival, he paid a condolence visit to the family of the late renowned Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi. The visit underscored the president's respect for the scholar's contributions to Islamic education and community leadership in Nigeria.
During his time in Bauchi, Tinubu announced the renaming of the Federal University of Health Sciences in Azare after Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi. This gesture honors the scholar's legacy in promoting knowledge and health sciences in the region.
Concluding his northern visits, Tinubu returned to Lagos, his home state, leading to heavy gridlock in the city as residents and commuters navigated the president's convoy. The trip highlights ongoing efforts to engage with northern states on development and cultural matters amid national challenges.
