The President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is set to embark on a one-day state visit to Bayelsa State on Friday, April 10, 2026.
The visit, at the invitation of the Bayelsa State Government under the leadership of Governor Douye Diri, will feature the inauguration of four major infrastructure projects described as legacy initiatives of the Prosperity Administration.
In a statement, the state government said the projects to be commissioned reflect its commitment to sustainable development, improved connectivity, and enhanced power supply across the state.
The projects scheduled for inauguration include the 60-megawatt Gas Turbines Independent Power Plant located in Elebele, designed to boost electricity generation and support industrial growth in the state.
Also slated for commissioning is the 630-metre Angiama-Oporoma Bridge, a long-anticipated project that had remained on the drawing board for over six decades before its actualization by the present administration.
Other projects include the dualised New Yenagoa City Link Road by Gbarantoru, aimed at easing traffic flow and improving urban mobility, as well as the 42-kilometre Sagbama-Ekeremor Road, expected to enhance access and socio-economic activities in riverine communities.
The Bayelsa State Government, on behalf of its people, expressed delight at hosting the President and extended a warm welcome ahead of the historic visit.
Officials say the visit underscores the growing collaboration between the federal and state governments in advancing infrastructural development in the Niger Delta region.
