President Muhammadu Buhari has postponed his scheduled follow-up medical trip to London, United Kingdom.
Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina announced this in a statement on Friday.
“The medical follow-up visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to United Kingdom earlier scheduled for today, Friday, June 25, 2021, has been postponed,” he said.
Mr Adesina added that a new date would be announced in due course.
Buhari was scheduled to travel to the UK on Friday and return in the second week of July.
The postponement followed threats by the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) to embark on industrial action over its demands including the payment of hazard allowances.
The association in a communiqué issued at the end of the virtual emergency National Executive Council on Thursday lamented the failure of the government to fulfil the conditions it laid down with led to the suspension of its strike in April.
On March 30, Buhari left the country after the NARD threatened to down tools. The doctors began their industrial action on April 1 which lasted for about two weeks.
