PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to Yola, Adamawa State, yesterday provoked the ire of some residents who protested against the disruption of their commercial activities.

  The President’s visit was the first since he assumed office. He was in Yola to commission an Air Force Secondary School of about 50 students. The school was established by the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Alexander Badel, an indigene of the state.

  Hundreds of market women took over the streets along Mohammed Mustafa Way about 10:00 a.m., protesting against the closure of their shops over the visit of the President.

  They were chanting different songs condemning the President for spending public funds on a trip that constituted economic problems to the residents of Yola.

   In a statement on Monday by the Army Public Relations Officer, Captain Nuhu Jarfaru, he stated that from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. yesterday, the busy Numan road, Galadima Aminu road, which house all the commercial banks in the capital and Jimeta-Yola Road would be sealed off.
