Buhari, aides in Covid-19 quarantine after U.S. trip

President Muhammadu Buhari and aides who followed him to the U.S. to attend the 76th Session of the UN General Assembly has been in covid-19 quarantine since he returned to Nigeria on Sunday.

This became known today after he was conspicuously absent at the Federal Executive Council meeting.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo presided over the meeting.

“The quarantine will end tomorrow”, Media adviser Femi Adeshina told P.M.News.

Buhari similarly observed a five-day quarantine after he returned home from UK in mid August.

The measure is in accordance with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) guidelines for international travel.
