The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has said that Nigerian presidents have no need to travel abroad for medical treatments, following the inauguration of the 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 unveiling ceremony of the facility situated in the premises of Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The president’s wife told State House correspondents that she mooted the idea of the wing six years ago, after her husband’s extensive stay of 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.
