from official assignments, SHARPEDGENews learnt from authoritative source that the President in a deft move to avoid unnecessary lobbying settled for the United Kingdom to meticulously scrutinize the list of political appointees in the next dispensation.

Adesina, said the President is scheduled to depart for Maiduguri, the Borno State capital for another official visit (today) Thursday.
He is expected to commission developmental projects especially in the sectors of education, healthcare and roads, Adesina added.
“At the end of the visit, President Buhari will be proceeding to the UK on a private visit.
