President Muhammadu Buhari jetted out of Nigeria Monday for medical reasons a day before his scheduled appearance at a mining event scheduled for Abuja to inspire investors’ interest in Nigeria’s chaotic solid minerals sector.
The trip, and its sudden announcement, raised concerns about the president’s health and why the government made a U-turn on the plan for Mr Buhari to attend and declare open the sixth edition of the Nigeria Mining Week on Tuesday. The programme will bring together investors, academics and industry professionals at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
