President Muhammadu Buhari is
scheduled to fly out Nigeria today on a two-day working visit to the Kingdom of
Morocco.
According to a statement by his
media aide, Garba Shehu, the visit, which is at the invitation of His Royal
Majesty, King Mohammed VI, will see the two leaders discuss socio-economic
matters affecting their countries.
It follows prior engagements in
December 2016, during the official visit of His Majesty to Nigeria.
In Rabat, discussions will focus
on strengthening existing agreements on the fertilizer industry, education
cooperation, the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project and establishing a basic
chemical platform to harness Nigeria’s vast natural gas resources and support
Morocco’s diammonium phosphate industry.
“It is noteworthy that following
the signing of a collaboration agreement between Nigeria and Morocco in
December 2016 to revive the abandoned Nigerian fertilizer blending plants, 14
plants have been revitalized so far under the Presidential Fertilizer
Initiative (PFI); with a total capacity of 2.3 million MT of NPK fertilizers.
“The President will be accompanied on the trip
by Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa
State and other senior government officials,” the statement read in part.
