President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Nigeria after his four-day visit to Turkey.

Buhari travelled to Turkey on Wednesday for a meeting of the D-8, a group of eight developing nations.

While in Turkey, Buhari was hosted by the Turkish President Recep Tayyeb Erdogan before the D-8

A statement yesterday, by the presidentโ€™s spokesman, Garba Shehu, said Buhariโ€™s objective during the visit focused on issues of security, anti-terrorism, agricultural and trade cooperation.

Other issues discussed were education, health, transport, energy sector cooperation and increased private sector participation.

Shehu said Buhariโ€™s visit to Turkey achieved โ€œquite a lotโ€ on the said objectives.

โ€œThe meetings have also helped to enhance momentum in ties between Nigeria and the rest of the โ€˜D-8โ€™ member-countries and the establishment of a positive working relationship, especially between Buhari and Erdogan,โ€ he said.

โ€œNigeria and Turkey has agreed to support each other in the fight against terrorism, human, drugs, and arms trafficking.โ€
