Ahidjo arrived in the ancient city of Kano, and part of his itinerary was a visit to the Palace of the Emir.
According to Reuters:
"Thousands of people packed the terminal to shout their welcome. Banners and Cameroun flags were waved as the two leaders inspected a guard of honour before leaving for the centre of Kano and the Palace of the Emir. Offices along the route between the airport and the city were closed to allow workers to line the streets as the official party made its way to the Palace."
