Published by

THE Presidency said on Thursday that the planned visit of President Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger Republic to President Muhammadu Buhari scheduled for Friday, May 5, 2017, has been put forward.

According to a statement issued the Special Adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina in Abuja, the rescheduling was at the instance of President Issoufou, “who has another domestic engagement.”

The statement added: “All arrangements had been concluded for President Buhari to receive his Nigerien counterpart and his delegation at the forecourt of the Presidential Villa and attend the Jumaat prayers together as well as lunch, before the last-minute postponement.”

It said a new date for the visit will be announced in due course.

President Buhari has refrained from public appearance for weeks on the orders of his doctors who the Federal Government said insisted that he should rest to recover faster from his illness.
