President Muhammadu Buhari and some service chiefs visited Maiduguri, Borno State, on Thursday morning to review the security situation in the North East.
The presidential jet landed at the Nigerian Air Force wing of the Maiduguri International Airport at about 10am, where Buhari and his entourage were received by the state governor, Babagana Zulum, and other government officials.
On Wednesday, Zulum had said in a statement that “President, Muhammadu Buhari, will be coming to Borno State on Thursday, the 17th of June, 2021.”
He said, “The President is coming to appraise security situation in the northeast, during which he will commission some of developmental projects executed by the state government. The President will also commission the first phase of 10,000 houses which he generously approved and funded, for the resettlement of IDPs and refugees.”
The President is visiting Borno after a year since he last visited the state on February 12, 2020.
