Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity made this known on Tuesday, February 22nd, when he featured on Channels Television programme, Sunrise Daily.

He said, “It could be signed today; it could be signed tomorrow. In a matter of hours, not days. Hours could be 24 hours, it could be 48 hours; not days, not weeks.”
