By Matthew Eloyi – President Muhammadu Buhari and his Nigerien counterpart Mohammed Bazoum are currently holding bilateral talks in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to reports, the Nigerien leader is visiting Nigeria for the second time since his election in February 2021.

“While President Bazoum’s visit is expected to last for a few hours, the neighboring leader will be received with full military honours, including a 21-gun salute.
