President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on a one-day working visit minutes after the Boko Haram fighters fired a rocket into the airport in Maiduguri.
Buhari, whose aircraft landed at the Maiduguri Airforce Base at 11:45am is accompanied by top officials of his government.
Governor of Borno, Prof. Babagana Zulum, was around to receive President Buhari alongside all the security service chiefs, who have earlier arrived in the city.
The president is visiting Borno for the second time in six months having last visited on June 21, 2021, when he commissioned massive projects undertaken by the Borno State Government and North East Development Commission.
The president was immediately driven out of the airport to the site of the Shiek Tijjani Bolori Mega School behind Quarter Maiduguri.
Zulum urged the people to come out en-mass to appreciate Buhari's efforts in supporting resettlement and recognise all the good works the president had done for the state in the last six years.
Boko Haram fighters had earlier in the day hit Maiduguri, ahead of the President's visit.
The insurgents were said to have attacked three communities at Ngomari airport general area in Maiduguri.
