President Muhammadu Bubari has approved the immediate medical treatment of former Vice-President, Alex Ekwueme, outside the country.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Garba Shehu said the approval followed a brief the President received Friday on the medical condition of the former Vice-President.
By Buhari’s approval, an immediate charter of an Air Ambulance for the emergency movement and the cost of treatment for Ekwueme have been secured.
