President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Nigeria on Monday evening from London. The president travelled to London from the United States where he went for the 72nd United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, meeting. The President arrived New York on September 18. He left New York for London on Thursday. Meanwhile, Buhari has ordered the immediate evacuation of Nigerian students stranded in the Dominican Island.
The Presidential directive is occasioned by the reported Hurricane Maria that recently occured on the Island.
Many Nigerian students usually attend medical schools in Dominican Islands which prepare them to move to the U. S. and Europe for the completion of their medical degree programmes. When contacted, the presidential spokesperson on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed the development.
