Nigeria President Postpones Health Trip to London - Aide Says

President Muhammadu Buhari has postponed plans to travel to London for another medical check-up, according to a brief announcement by media advisor Femi Adesina. The visit would have come three months after a previous trip was met with public criticism when doctors in Nigeria were on strike and as the public health service remains severely underfunded. The president, who has spent six years in office, has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment.
