President Muhammadu Buhari will again proceed to London on Friday for “a scheduled medical follow-up.”
This was contained in a statement by the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled, ‘President Buhari off to London Friday for medical follow-up.’
The statement noted that Buhari will be back in the country during the second week of July, 2021.
The President’s trip is coming at a time when there are indications that the National Association of Resident Doctors may embark on another industrial action.
Recall that on March 30, 2021, Buhari embarked on a medical trip to London for a routine medical check-up and returned two weeks later.
Garba’s statement read, “President Muhammadu Buhari will proceed to London, the United Kingdom on Friday, June 25, 2021, for a scheduled medical follow-up.
“He is due back in the country during the second week of July, 2021.”
Same Thursday, NARD issued a fresh four-week ultimatum to the federal and state governments to address its demands including the payment of hazard allowances.
The association in a message said, at the end of the virtual emergency National Executive Council, lamented the failure of the government to fulfil the conditions it laid down with led to the suspension of its strike in April.
The association also lamented the extortion of money from its members by the Lagos University Teaching Hospital under the guise of minimum wage and further stated that no effort had been made by the Federal Government to the implementation of national minimum wage and non payment of salaries since the suspension of the last strike.
Meanwhile, there was no indication on Thursday that the President would be handing over power to Osinbajo.
