Buhari’s Minister Flies Abroad For Medical Treatment

The minister of state for education, Anthony Anwukah has been flown out of Nigeria to United States for medical attention.

Adamu Adamu, minister of education, disclosed this at a media briefing in Abuja on Tuesday.

He, however, did not reveal the ailment Anwukah is being treated for.

“Please permit me to ask us to say a minute prayer for the minister of state who is away in the US to receive medical treatment for an illness,” Adamu mentioned at the briefing which was to commemorate the 2017 World Teachers’ Day.

Unconfirmed reports have it that Anwukah attended the federal executive council meeting two weeks ago wearing a cervical collar.

Recall, President Muhammadu Buhari returned in August from UK for a treatment of an undisclosed illness.

The president returned to Nigeria on August 19, after spending over 100 days in London.
