President buarri receive new letter

The

presidency also affirmed that the visit cost the Nigerian treasury less than two hundred and twenty million naira contrary to assertions in some sections. It further explained that President Buhari’s son, Yusuf, did not receive any money for the trip even as it contended that great savings were made by members of the delegation against previous visits.
The five governors who were in the delegation, the presidency said, paid their way while permanent secretaries and other senior government officials only received their entitlements.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said besides the economic benefits, plans were already in motion to lift hindrances to the flow of military support for Nigeria’s war against insurgents in the North-East.
According to him, some of the more immediate benefits of the President’s trip to the US include: the proposed two billion and one hundred million dollars fund from the World Bank for the re-development of the northeast battered by Boko Haram, five billion dollars from US investors in Nigeria’s agriculture sector, one billion and five hundred million dollars investment in the Nigerian’s health sector, and another five billion dollars investment from the US in our country’s power sector
