Nigeria
Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari spent the past weekend in his home State of Katsina.
The 74-year old leader left the administrative capital, Abuja on Friday and was received in his birthplace called Daura (in Katsina State) by the Islamic leader of the area, the Emir of Daura.
Despite his schedules as president of Africa’s most populous country, Buhari made time to receive his former middle school classmates with whom he attended ‘Katsina Middle School’ some 63 years ago.
