Just In: Buhari Departs Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday morning departed Abuja for Lagos to inaugurate some developmental projects executed by the Lagos State Government, led by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration.

Naija News understands that the President and members of his entourage departed the Presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at about 9.48am.

President Buhari, who is on a one-day official visit to Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria, is expected back to Abuja immediately after the inauguration of the projects.

On Buhari’s visit, he is expected to inaugurate the Institute of Maternal and Child Health (Ayinke House), an ultra-modern 170-bed Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist hospital located within LASUTH and Lagos Theatre.

Other developmental projects to be inaugurated by the President include the Oshodi Transport Interchange and International Airport Road as well as 820 Mass Transit buses.

Recall that Naija News had earlier reported the President’s visit to Lagos on Wednesday, April 24 and his Thursday’s visit to Borno.
