President Muhammadu Buhari has received prominent Islamic Scholar Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Mr Sunday Aghaeze, the Personal Assistant to the President (Photo – Presidency), confirmed this development in pictorial reports on Sunday.
According to the presidential aide, the Islamic scholar was accompanied on the visit by his children with the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, in attendance at the meeting.
The president had on Saturday congratulated Islamic scholar on the conferment of an honorary doctorate degree by the Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State, in recognition of his contributions to knowledge and learning.
Buhari noted that given Bauchi’s encyclopaedic knowledge and vast influence in Africa, ”it is impossible to find the right adjectives that can adequately do justice to his extraordinary virtues and gifts”.
He said: “Dahiru Bauchi’s physical rigour and mental acuity despite his age are admirable and incredible, sometimes making you wonder if this scholar is in his 40s.”
NAN reports that the outcome of the meeting between the president and the Islamic preacher was still being awaited as at the time of filing this report.
