Vice President Kashim Shettima on Sunday arrived in Lagos to brief President Bola Tinubu on the prevailing security situation in Maiduguri, Borno State.
His visit comes shortly after a presidential directive that took him to the Borno State capital for an on-the-spot assessment following a series of bomb explosions in the city.
During the trip, the Vice President met with victims, bereaved families, community leaders, and relevant authorities as part of a condolence visit aimed at evaluating the impact of the attacks.
He is expected to present his findings and observations to the President.
Maiduguri was recently shaken by multiple explosions suspected to have been carried out by Boko Haram insurgents, leading to casualties and injuries.
Following the briefing, Shettima is also expected to lead a delegation of serving governors on a courtesy visit to the President later in the day.
The meeting will serve as an opportunity to extend Eid-el-Fitr greetings to the President, while also providing a platform for discussions on enhancing collaboration between different levels of government to tackle emerging security challenges and improve rapid response strategies nationwide.
