The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has received the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

On Wednesday, Ramaphosa arrived at the Villa around 10 a.m. and was greeted by Buhari.

He was then given a 21-gun salute after inspecting a guard of honour.
