Katsina State Government has postponed the burial of Nigeria’s former President Muhammadu Buhari, to Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
This was disclosed by the Deputy Governor of the State, Mr. Lawal Jobe.
While speaking with newsmen on Monday in Daura, Jobe explained that the decision to shift the burial date was made to allow for adequate preparations and to ensure proper coordination of visiting dignitaries and national protocols.
The change now gives the state government and Buhari’s family more time to finalize logistics for the late president’s state burial, which will take place in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State, in line with Islamic rites.
“The burial of former President Muhammadu Buhari has been moved to Tuesday,” the Deputy Governor announced during a brief media chat.
Meanwhile, Jobe arrived at Buhari’s hometown residence in Daura at about 11:27 a.m., where he said he was on ground to inspect ongoing arrangements for the late leader’s final rites.
“I came here personally to assess the level of preparations,” he stated.
