Emir of Kano Aminu Ado-Bayero will pay a three-day visit to the Oba of Benin Ewuare II from Saturday, May 29, 2021 to May 31.

“The general public is by this notice invited to attend. All quests are expected to be seated on or before 4:00 p.m.
“The royal visit will end on Monday May 31, 2021 with a visit to Edo Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, at the Government House.”
