President Muhammadu Buhari will on June 24 proceed to London for a scheduled medical follow-up, the presidency said on Thursday.

Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina said the president will return to the country during the second week of July, 2021.

The trip came barely three months after Mr Buhari travelled to the United Kingdom capital on March 30, 2021, to see his medical doctors, whom he said he had consulted for decades.

During the last trip, the president overstayed the period he said he would return to the country by several days.
