President MUHAMMADU BUHARI is expected to receive the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh TAMIM BIN HAMAD ALTHANI today at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The emir is coming three years after President BUHARI visited Doha, the Qatari capital in February 2016, where he attended a meeting of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Presidential spokesperson, GARBA SHEHU confirmed the visit of the oil rich country’s emir.

In March last year, President BUHARI received former Emir of Qatar, Sheikh HAMAD BIN KHALIFA ALTHANI, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Qatar is the world’s biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas.
