At the same time the Federal government
has outlined “34 strategic priority
programmes and projects” that it intends to
achieve beginning with the 2016 budget.
It’s not the first time President Buhari heads
to France. Earlier he attended Climate
Change Summit and addressed the Plenary
Session of the European Union in Strasbour.
The Nigerian leader has so far visited 22
countries since he assumed the office on
May 29, 2015.
Many Nigerians are not happy over his trips.
During Buhari’s last trip Ayo Fayose, the
governor of the Ekiti state, has even claimed
that the president is visiting conferences he
doesn’t understand.
Meanwhile, the presidency justified the trips,
saying they were necessary to bring the
country back on the track of development
and growth.
