FLASH: President Ramaphosa visits Buhari as Omicron ravages South Africa
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday hosted his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, in the Presidential Villa Abuja.
Mr Ramaphosa’s visit to Nigeria comes as more countries are closing its borders against visitors from South Africa.
The Southern Africa nation is facing its worse COVID-19 crisis since it discovered a potentially deadlier variant of the contagion- the Omicron.
Mr Ramaphosa, who is on a two-day official visit to Nigeria, was received at the forecourt of the Presidential Villa by President Buhari before the two leaders went into closed-door bilateral talks.
There was a brief cultural display by members of the Nigerian National Troupe who entertained the visiting South African President and his delegation.
The two presidents are expected to address a joint press conference at the end of the bilateral talks.
