President Muhammadu Buhari is set to depart Abuja for South Africa on Saturday, June 13, to attend the 25th African Union Summit in Johannesburg.
A statement by Femi Adesina Special Adviser to the President on media and publicity, said President Buhari is scheduled to undertake his first continental assignment since taking office by chairing a meeting of the Peace and Security Committee of the African Union during the summit.
Buhari is expected to spend four days in South Africa and return on Tuesday at the conclusion of the summit.
While in South Africa, Buhari is also expected to hold bilateral talks with other African leaders on the sidelines of the summit to “consolidate his ongoing drive to secure Nigeria and neighbouring countries from Boko Haram.”
In just two weeks since becoming president, Buhari has already visited Niger, Chad and Germany.
