After a "personal trip" to the UK, President Muhammadu Buhari returned to the country.

The president traveled to the UK from Saudi Arabia where, after leaving the country on October 27, he attended the third edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII).

At 9:45pm at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, the aircraft that brought him from the UK touched down.

On the ground to receive him were Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the president; Mohammed Bello, minister of federal capital territory (FCT); Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff, Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police, among others.

Speaking to reporters at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport Abuja, President Buhari says he intends to work harder and be accountable to Nigerians.
