President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday, April 1, depart Abuja for Dakar, Senegal to attend the inauguration of Senegalese president, Macky Sall.

The president's visit to Senegal follows President Sall's re-election for a second term in the just concluded Senegalese poll.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that President Buhari on Thursday, November 29, arrived from N’Djamena, Chad, where he reportedly renewed call for quick interventions and measures to curb the menace of Boko Haram insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin.

Buhari made the appeal at a one-day consultation with heads of state and governments of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC).

Legit.ng gathered that the meeting was called to address the recent upsurge in terrorist activities in the region, and the Nigerian leader rallied his colleagues from Chad, Niger Republic and Republic of Cameroon to a fresh onslaught against insurgents, particularly the Boko Haram group.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.
