Jonathan leaves London hospital, back at the Investors’ Meeting
The Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, is in good health and attending Friday’s session of the on-going Honourary International Investors’ Council, after medical practitioners in London recommended that he should rest for a few days.
Jonathan was unable to feature in Thursday’s session of the meeting due to the precautionary medical measure to check an undisclosed ailment.
The president, on arrival at the venue of the event, apologised to the gathering for his absence in Thursday’s session, saying it was as a result of a sudden illness that came over him.
There were media speculations that the president would show up on Friday for the meeting. Much of the Statement had painted that it was nothing serious, there is no information yet on why he had to see a doctor.
A statement by the president’s media aide, Reuben Abati, had disclosed that President Jonathan was asked to “rest for a few days” by “competent medical practitioners” in London.
It assured “all Nigerians that President Jonathan’s condition is nothing serious and that the medical attention he has sought is only precautionary”.
The Honourary International Investors Council (HIIC) is an organization of prominent investors from around the world that advises the Nigerian government on matters pertaining to the country’s economic development including reducing political corruption, making the best of oil production and attracting more investments.
The idea is to see Nigeria lose the identity of crime, violence, poverty, political instability and other vices often associated with the country’s image.
