Names Of Officials Who Will Accompany Buhari To The US

Some important details of the upcoming visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the United States have come out.

The meeting is to be held on July 20 and is expected to be a serious step in the advancement of diplomatic relationships between the two countries. Last year, under Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, Nigeria-US ties were weakened over the military cooperation in the fight against Boko Haram.

Sahara Reporters has disclosed the names of some key figures, in particular five governors, who are likely to accompany the president to Washington D.C., where he will meet his counterpart Barack Obama.

The five governors include those of Oyo, Imo, Edo states and two other governors. They are set to accompany Buhari in addition to the 18-man delegation made up of top presidential aides, including Rotimi Amaechi, Tunde Bakare and Farouk Adamu.

The major issue of the July 20 discussion will be the effective ways of collaboration between the two countries to ensure success in the fight against terrorism and corruption in Nigeria.

Amaechi, the former Rivers state governor, on Friday paid a visit to Buhari in Aso Rock. Based on the recent report, it is possible that the meeting was connected with the forthcoming trip to the US.
