President Muhammadu Buhari is set to travel to the United Kingdom on
Monday, said his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi
Adesina.
Adesina, in a statement, explained that the President would embark on
the trip to participate in the Global Education Summit on Financing
Global Partnership for Education (GPE) 2021-2025.
After the event, he disclosed that the President would spend a few days
in the United Kingdom for an earlier scheduled medical check-up.
The summit will be co-hosted by the Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom, Boris Johnson and the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta.
It is expected to bring together Heads of State and Government, as well
as stakeholders and youth leaders, and provide a platform for partners to
chart a way forward towards transforming education systems in partner
countries, through the exchange of best practices.
According to Adesina, the event will also offer the opportunity for
leaders to make five-year pledges to support GPE’s work to help
transform education systems in up to 90 countries and territories.
