He, thereafter, inspected a guard of honour and was treated to a 21-gun salute.

His visit to the Villa is coming hours after the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control confirmed the first three cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in Nigeria, saying they are linked to passengers from South Africa.

Canada immediately added Nigeria to the list of banned countries from entering the North America country, after earlier adding South Africa.

South Africa, which has been named as source of the latest COVID19 variant Omicron has seen her citizens and others who are in the country banned from entering more than a dozen countries already.
