The President is on a two-day working visit to Ebonyi State where he is expected to commission numerous projects executed by the Umahi administration.
He is also billed to have a meeting with select Leaders from the South-East.
Though no details of the agenda for the meeting was disclosed, it is, however, expected that the security concerns in the region and the detention of the Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will be top on the agenda.
