A statement by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, states that Pres. Buhari, will first fly to Riyadyh for talks on Tuesday with King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and senior officials of
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Ongoing efforts by Nigeria and other members of the OPEC to achieve greater stability in the price of crude oil exports are expected to be high on the agenda of discussions between Pres. Buhari and the Saudi Monarch.

Crude oil prices and market stability will also be on the front burner when Pres Buhari goes on to Doha on Saturday for talks on Sunday with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

He is also scheduled to meet with leading Saudi and Qatari businessmen in Riyadh and Doha, and invite them to support his administration’s efforts to revamp the Nigerian economy by taking advantage of the great investment opportunities currently available in Nigeria’s mining, agriculture, power supply, infrastructure, transportation, communications and other sectors.

His other engagements in Saudi Arabia include meetings with heads of international financial organizations and multilateral associations. Before going on to Doha, he will also visit Medina and Mecca to pray for greater peace, prosperity and progress in Nigeria….. very important…..
