Recall that on April 16, a White House statement inviting Mr Buhari to Washington DC, said both leaders are expected to discuss issues including fighting terrorism and economic growth.

“President Trump looks forward to discussing ways to enhance our strategic partnership and advance our shared priorities.

“Promoting economic growth and reforms, fighting terrorism and other threats to peace and security, and building on Nigeria’s role as a democratic leader in the region.

“The relationship of the United States with Nigeria is deep and strong, and Nigeria’s economic growth, security, and leadership in Africa will advance our mutual prosperity,” the statement read in part.
