President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived Washington DC to Participate at the 4th Nuclear Security Summit, which begins Thursday.
The President was met at the Andrews Airforce Base, just outside the US capital, by a number of high ranking Nigerian and US officials, including Minister of Defence Monsur Dan Ali, Minister of Education Mallam Adamu Adamu, DG National Intelligence Agency Ambassador Ayodele Oke and Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora Hon. Abike Dabiri.
The Nuclear Security Summit, which is being hosted by US President Barack Obama and which will have in attendance at least 60 other world leaders and heads of international organisations, is dedicated to reinforcing international commitment to the none-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Buhari, during plenary session of the summit, is expected to insist that while Nigeria will stand by this goal, world powers must, however, respect the right of other countries to the peaceful use of nuclear energy for development purposes.
The president is expected back to the country on Sunday.
