How to send a user to a facebook page on the facebook app, if installed?

Upon tap of a button, I am trying to send the user to a Facebook page.

I am testing with a random page like this, which exists: http://facebook.com/WorldwideCollection

Here is how I attempt to launch the page in Facebook app:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"fb://page/WorldwideCollection"];
if ([a canOpenURL:url]) {
    [a openURL:url];
    return;
}

Facebook app is logged in and opens. But all I see is my own timeline. It does not direct the user to the page as requested. Is there a different way of doing it?

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:urlApp];

You need to use profile with the Facebook id for the page :

fb://profile/(fbid)
