Nigeria to discuss bilateral relations in Turkey

 

As the group of Developing 8 (D-8) countries meet in Turkey on Friday for its 9th summit, priority on Nigeria’s mind is bilateral relations with member countries.

Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu said Nigeria is interested in a myriad of sectors including energy and communications.  

President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Turkey late Wednesday after presiding over the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting in Nigeria.

Buhari arrived at the Esenboğa International Airport in Ankara, the country’s capital at about 6:20pm (Nigerian time) on Wednesday.

He was received by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Turkey, as well as the Governor of Ankara and other Turkish government officials.

The Presidency confirmed the arrival in a tweet on its handle.

“Pres @MBuhari arrives Esenboğa Int’l Airport, Ankara, Turkey. Received by Nigeria’s Ambassador to Turkey; Gov of Ankara, and other officials,” the update read.
