President Muhammadu Buhari will begin a two-day working visit to the Kingdom of Morocco, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, has said.

Shehu, in a statement in Abuja yesterday, said the visit was at the invitation of King Mohammed VI of Morocco.

He said the two leaders will discuss socio-economic matters affecting their countries, following prior engagements in December 2016, during the official visit of the Moroccan leader to Nigeria.

“In Rabat, discussions will focus on strengthening existing agreements on the fertiliser industry, education cooperation, the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project and establishing a basic chemical platform to harness Nigeria’s vast natural gas resources and support Morocco’s diammonium phosphate industry,” he said.


 
Shehu recalled Nigeria and Morocco had in December 2016 signed a collaboration agreement to revive the abandoned Nigerian fertiliser blending plants.

He said that following the signing of the agreement, 14 fertiliser plants had been revitalised so far under the Presidential Fertiliser Initiative with a capacity of 2.3 million metric tonnes of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (K) -NPK fertiliser.

Shehu noted that the president will be accompanied on the trip by governors of Ebonyi and Jigawa, Dave Umahi and Abubakar Badaru respectively and other senior government officials.
