President Muhammadu Buhari will visit Lagos on Thursday to launch the Deep Blue Project of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).

The visit was confirmed on Wednesday by the state police spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi.

The Deep Blue Project is meant to strengthen national security on land, sea and air, as initiated by the Federal Ministry of Transportation and the Federal Ministry of Defence.

GCFRNG gathered that there is heavy presence of security operatives in Lagos State as the President is expected to arrive in the state on Thursday,

Motorists and commuters are expected to be slightly inconvenienced as the President’s visit is expected to affect traffic flow due to the closure of some roads.

The last time the President visited Lagos was on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, during the tenure of All Progressives Congress Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.

However, June 12 protest is scheduled to take place at Freedom Park, Ojota, Lagos, two days after Buhari’s visit.
