Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari will be leaving Nigeria on Wednesday for Washington to join President Barack Obama and other world leaders and heads of international organisations at the 4th Nuclear Security Summit.
This is according to a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina.
The statement said that the plenary sessions of the summit will be dedicated to reinforcing international commitment to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
It stated that President Buhari, at the sessions, would insist that “while Nigeria will continue to sustain that commitment, world powers must respect the right of other countries to the peaceful use of nuclear energy for development purposes.
“The President will reaffirm Nigeria’s stance that international efforts to ensure greater security of nuclear materials should maintain a balance between nuclear non-proliferation obligations and the indisputable right of Nigeria and other countries to harness nuclear energy and technology for socio-economic development.
