“President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Abuja, after his participation in the 50th Anniversary of the UN Environmental Programme in Nairobi, Kenya,” Sallau said.

It would be recalled that President Buhari, on Tuesday, departed Abuja for Kenya to participate in the Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP@50).
