Buhari To Spend 11 Days on Private Visit To London



President Muhammadu Buhari will be proceeding to the United Kingdom on a private visit, the Presidency has said in a statement.


He is taking off from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, at the end of another official visit Thursday after paying a working visit to Lagos yesterday.


The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said his principal is expected to return to the country on May 5, 2019.


According to Adesina, “He (Buhari) is expected to commission developmental projects especially in the sectors of education, healthcare, and roads.


“At the end of the visit, President Buhari will be proceeding to the United Kingdom on a private visit. He is expected to return to Nigeria on May 5, 2019.”


Yesterday, the President was in Lagos State to commission world-class Oshodi Transport Interchange, the Mass Transit Buses and the 10-lane Murtala Mohammed International Airport expressway, where he expressed satisfaction with the performance of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.


Buhari, at the occasion showered encomium on the governor for his outstanding performance in the past four years, and expressed delight while commissioning the three key projects which he said reflected the drive and success of his administration.


He noted that the policy thrust of his government was to pursue policies and programmes that will positively impact on our citizens, stressing that the new Oshodi Transport Interchange; the Mass Transit Medium and High capacity public buses and the reconstructed Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road by the Lagos State Government clearly demonstrated the need to continue to provide high impact projects for the development of infrastructure and opportunities for job creation at all levels.


According to him, “Just as this transport interchange with three different terminals is going to change the face of public transportation, the mass transit buses totalling 820 will move the people of Lagos State in a more comfortable and more efficient manner.


“These projects by Lagos State are perfectly aligned with the efforts of the Federal Government to improve the country’s infrastructure, especially in the transport sector.


“To complement the Oshodi transport Interchange, the Federal Government has recently approved the reconstruction of the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway up to Oworonshoki and Old-Toll gate which was last attended to, 40 years ago.”


Continuing, the President said, “We have recently commissioned the new International Airport Terminals in Port Harcourt and Abuja as well as the rail lines from Abuja to Kaduna.


“The Lagos to Ibadan rail line is under construction. Our government will continue to prioritise high impact infrastructure which will vastly improve the lives of our people.


“This is my second working visit to Lagos state within a span of one year. I was also here in February to solicit for your votes. I thank you for supporting me. Earlier this morning, I commissioned Ayinke House at the Institute of Maternal & Child Health and also the Lagos Theatre in Oregun.


“Your Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has performed satisfactorily and we should all commend him for his contributions to the growth and development of Lagos State.”


Buhari thanked the people of Lagos State for their support for his government and the All Progressives Congress, APC.
