Buhari set to embark on another trip on Monday

Barely 10 days of his return, President Muhammadu Buhari is set to embark on another trip out of Nigeria.

According to the report from Daily Post, President Buhari has finally decided to visit Washington DC, USA on Monday, September 4, 2017.

Buhari’s trip to the US is to honour the invitation of President Donald Trump.

SaharaReporters quoted a Nigerian Presidency source as saying that Trump had extended the invitation last February, shortly after his inauguration.

The president is scheduled to leave his hometown, Daura, by helicopter at 9:15 am on Monday for Katsina airport. From the airport, he will fly out at 10 am aboard a presidential jet to Washington, DC.

The source said the earlier plan was for the president to combine the official visit to the US with his participation at the UN General Assembly in New York from September 21 to 25, 2017.
