Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, says Nigerian presidents have no reason to seek medical treatment abroad following the launching of N21 billion presidential wing of the state house medical centre.
Mrs Buhari stated this when she joined President Muhammadu Buhari and other dignitaries for the commissioning ceremony of the facility situated in the premises of Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The president’s wife told State House correspondents that she established the idea of the wing six years ago, after the extensive stay of her husband abroad, for medical treatment.
She assured that with the facility in place, Nigerian Presidents and their family members will no longer need to go abroad for treatment but may only fly medical experts to assist their colleagues in the country.
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari stayed back in the UK for medical treatment after the inauguration of King Charles III.
Since his emergence in 2015, President Buhari has spent over 225 days on medical trips, visiting over 40 countries.
