The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari is in very competent hands in London where he is undergoing treatment.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, gave the assurance on Wednesday while briefing State House reporters after the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

The minister was responding to a question on the status of the president’s health.

He also assured that there was no cause for alarm over the president’s health.

“The president is in very competent hands and there is no cause for alarm,” the minister said.

President Buhari left Nigeria for the United Kingdom on May 7 for a follow-up consultation with his doctors.
