President Muhammadu Buhari has this morning, January 29, left Nairobi, Kenya for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Buhari will be joining other Heads of State and Government for the 24th African Union Summit.
This was announced in a statement by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kenyatta write on his Facebook page: “During Buhari’s 3-day state Vvisit to our country we reaffirmed our commitment to strengthening the partnership between Kenya and Nigeria in the area of trade, sharing experiences in sectors where we have our individual strengths, boosting people to people partnerships, and to move towards being instruments of facilitating business for our people so as to grow our respective economies.”
“We also reaffirmed our own commitment to the fight against corruption as it denies our people the much needed prosperity that our respective countries and continent deserve.”
“Our commitment is to work together to combat this vice. We also agreed to combine efforts in the fight against terrorism. Peace and security are essential ingredients to sustainable development and we will therefore cooperate at the multi-lateral and bi-lateral fronts to eliminate terrorism,” he added.
Buhari, on arrival in Kenya, joined his host Kenyatta and other dignitaries at a memorial service for Kenyan soldiers who were killed by Al-Shabaab in Somalia on January 15.
Before the conclusion of his visit, the presidents presided over a Kenya-Nigeria Business Forum in Nairobi.
President Buhari also met with Nigerian diaspora in Kenya.
Buhari will return to Nigeria on January 31.
However, another trip for Europe is in the schedule of the Nigerian leader next week.
