The two presidents are meeting officially for the first time since the inauguration of President Buhari’s administration on May 29, 2017.
Ouattara had on April 20, 2015, met with Buhari, then, as President-Elect, shortly after a meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Addressing journalists after the meeting at the Aso Villa, both leaders agreed to strengthen the bilateral ties between Nigeria and Ivory Coast.
