President Muhammadu Buhari would depart the country on Friday for London, the United Kingdom (UK), for a scheduled medical follow-up.
In a brief statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President is expected back in the country in the second week of next month.

“President Muhammadu Buhari will proceed to London, the United Kingdom on Friday, June 25, 2021, for a scheduled medical follow-up.
“He is due back in the country during the second week of July, 2021,” the statement said.
Recall that the President in March left for the UK for a “routine” medical checkup, which saw him remain abroad until April 15, 2021. This was shortly after the Nigerian Association Of Resident Doctors (NARD) had declared a strike.
Buhari has been heavily criticised for his “medical tourism”, and his March trip sparked protests in Nigeria and among the diaspora.
