According to recent reports, President Muhammadu Buahri is scheduled to visit the United States of America for the third time since he was sworn in as president.
Mr President is to attend the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington DC at the end of March, which will be hosted by President Barak Obama between March 30 and April 1.
The president will reportedly be accompanied to the three-day event by three governors and six ministers.
President Buhari recently returned from his one-week state tour to Middle East. He visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar for stabilization oil prices and for lesser Hajj in Medina.
It was gathered that each presidential trip costs Nigerians between half a million and $1.2million in traveling expenses alone. Amid this observation, there have been calls from several quarters for the president to reduce his foreign trips and concentrate on domestic problems. The lingering fuel scarcity in the country might be a good place to start.
