Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has signed an executive order setting up a transitional team that will usher in a new government after the forthcoming general elections.
“The new executive order puts in place a legal framework for the seamless transition of power from one presidential administration to another,” he said in a Twitter post.
Nigerians go the polls on 25 February.
Mr Buhari, 80, is serving his last term in office, as he is constitutionally barred from running again in the elections.
A new president will be sworn in on 29 May.
