President Muhammadu Buhari will today begin a week-long visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar to discuss the swindling oil price and how they could be shored up. Buhari, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, will be accompanied by a high-powered Federal Government delegation, including the Minister of State (Petroleum) and Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC), Dr. Ibe Kachikwu.

The statement said ongoing efforts by Nigeria and other members of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to achieve greater stability in the price of crude oil exports are expected to be high on the agenda of discussions between President Buhari and the Saudi Monarch.
