Security measures have been heightened in and around the Federal Capital Territory Abuja. This is to invigorate and fortify efforts by all stake holders to make the inauguration of the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, hitch free.
In recent times, Abuja has witnessed activities of the dreaded Boko haram and the Federal Government with its security operatives is leaving no stone unturned in guaranteeing a proper transition of government before and after May 29, 2015.
About 50 heads of states from across the world are expected to grace the inauguration ceremony of the president-elect. In his words, the chairman of the media and publicity sub- committee of the presidential inauguration planning committee, and minister of culture and tourism, Edem Duke, confirmed this to journalists on preparations for the one week programme, which started last Friday with Jumaat prayer at the National Mosque, Abuja.

He said: “As we speak, the 54 countries of the continent of Africa have been invited. Very many of the heads of state will be coming.
“There has been a huge interest, especially, from heads of countries in Europe to attend this inauguration and at the last count, I think we must have in excess of about 50 heads of state and delegations expected at this inauguration.”
