The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina has said that the president sold one of his houses in order to send one of his children to school abroad.

Adesina made the disclosure during a recent interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show.

“Don’t forget that it was in the public domain even before he became president that when one of his children needed to go abroad he had to sell his property; maybe it was his house in Lagos or somewhere,” Adesina said.

 

“Anybody that wants to train a child abroad must be sure that he or she can afford it. If you can afford it no problem.

“At a time like this when there is paucity of foreign exchange, what the president is simply saying is that central bank may not be able to provide forex but you can always buy your forex at the parallel market if that is what you want,” he added.

Buhari had earlier said that no foreign exchange would be provided for Nigerians who have children schooling abroad.
