NIGERIAN President Muhammadu Buhari after his participation in the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly, President Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday left New York for London, United Kingdom, for a follow up medical check-up.

It was, however, not stated how many days the president would be spending in the United Kingdom.

At the UN General Assembly, Buhari presented Nigeria’s statement and thereafter had meetings with President Donald Trump of the United States, King of Jordan, Abdullah II, President of Ghana, Kuffour Addo and the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres.

He had asked for the cooperation of world leaders in the recovery of stolen assets, adding that efforts were being put in through the strengthening state institutions, enhance accountability and combat corruption in Nigeria.

Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, said Buhari’s appearance in New York was “worth the while” and immensely beneficial to Nigeria particularly Jordan’s donation of 200 armoured vehicles to Nigeria under generous terms.

He said Buhari held bilateral talks with the different leaders on various areas of cooperation
