Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has left Nigeria for United
States to join other world leaders at the 72nd session of the United
Nations General Assembly.
Femi Adesina,
presidential spokesman, had disclosed the president’s travel plans on Friday,
saying “President Buhari will transit through London on his way back to the
country”.
The
presidential spokesman said the high point of the president’s visit would be
his participation in the general debate during which he would deliver the
country’s national statement.
According to
him, the theme for this year’s debate is: ‘focusing on people: striving for
peace and a decent life for all on a sustainable planet’.
Adesina said
the president would join other world leaders at the welcoming reception to be
hosted by Antonio Guterres, UN secretary-general, and that he would also hold a
bilateral meeting with the UN scribe.
“Equally, the
Nigerian leader will hold a lunch meeting with President Donald Trump of the
United States of America, along with other world leaders,” he said.
“The
president will be accompanied by the governors of Zamfara, Ebonyi and Ondo
states, and key cabinet ministers.”
However, the
return date of the president was not disclosed.
