President Buhari On The Move Again, Set to Visit Senegal

President Muhammadu Buhari is scheduled to embark on a one-day trip to Dakar, Senegal for the 49th Extra-Ordinary Summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).



President Buhari will depart Abuja on Friday June 3rd and return to Abuja on June 4th after the conclusion of the summit, a source at the presidency disclosed to SaharaReporters.

The ECOWAS meeting would be Mr. Buhari's first trip out of Abuja after his last-minute cancellation last week of a planned trip to Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub and first in the second year running of the president in office.

A source at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that the ECOWAS meeting would focus on issues of regional security and economic development.
