Aisha Buhari Returns From Overseas Medical Trip, Recounts Near Plane Crash Experience

First Lady, Aisha Buhari, returned to Nigeria today, August 22, from a medical trip to the United Arab Emirates, recounting a near plane mishap experience on her way coming back.
In a statement today, Aisha Buhari herself said: “I want to use this opportunity to thank all Nigerians for their prayers and well wishes while I was away on medical treatment in the United Arabs Emirates  (UAE). I am well now and fully recovered and had since returned back home, Nigeria.
“On our way back, the Nigerian Airforce Flight encountered a violent clear air turbulence which was navigated safely and professionally by the Captain and crew of the Flight.”
The First Lady commended and appreciated the courage and professionalism of the Captain and his crew, the wonderful gallant service men and women of the entire Nigerian Airforce for their dedication to duty and the quality of maintainance  of its Fleet.
She recalled hosting the private healthcare Providers earlier in the year “and we had a very productive engagement where the issue of building the capacity of Nigeria health sector was the major focus,  and funding was discovered to be the major challenge.
“I therefore call on the healthcare providers to take the advantage of the Federal Government’s initiative through the Central Bank of Nigeria  (CBN) guidelines for the operation of NGN100 Billion Credit Support for the Healthcare Sector as was released recently contained in a circular dated March 25, 2020 to the Commercial Banks. “This will no doubt help in building and expanding the capacity of the Nigerian health sector and ultimately reduce medical trips and tourism outside the Country.”
