President Muhammadu Buhari has been scheduled to address the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly in the US on Tuesday, September 19, 2017.
President Buhari is listed as number seven on the provincial list of speakers.
The Nigerian leader is expected to speak after the leaders of Brazil, the United States, Guinea, Switzerland, Jordan and Slovakia.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed that the president would attend the Assembly.
Shehu said, “I cannot tell you the time he will be going because it can change but I know he is expected to be the eighth speaker at the UN. So, he will be there and he will speak.”
Since his return to Nigeria on 20 August, 2017, after spending 103 days on medical leave in London, Buhari has not attended any public event outside of Aso Villa and his hometown in Daura, Katsina state.
Also, he has attended only one Federal Executive Council meeting since he returned from the British capital three weeks ago.
