A formal transfer of transition documents to the next administration is also anticipated to take place today. This is made possible by Executive Order 14, which President Buhari signed, and is expected to be the most structured and smooth Presidential Transition in Nigerian history.

Kenyatta, the former President of Kenya, will deliver the inaugural lecture on May 27 on the subject of “Deepening Democracy for Integration and Development.”

A Children’s Day Program that includes a procession and a party for the youngsters will come just after this.

The SGF also indicated that on May 29th, the Inauguration Parade and Swearing-In exercise would begin at Eagle Square at 10:00am, and that a Post Inauguration Luncheon will follow immediately after.
