May 29 Handover: Full list of 43 countries Buhari visited as Nigeria’s President

The tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari comes to an end on May 29.

His tenure is not regarded as a success according to the majority of Nigerians.

While many had high expectations when he was elected in 2015, he has failed to live up to that expectations.

As president, Buhari has been criticized for being the most traveled leader the country has ever produced.

Punch reports that Buhari had visited 40 countries of the world as Nigeria’s president and had about 90 foreign trips in his 8 years of administration in Nigeria.

Assessing the 8 years reign of the Daura-born military leader turned democratic president, Buhari visited no less than 43 countries across the world.

The countries Buhari visited cut across continents of the world and mostly on official visits, medical, and pilgrimages.
