Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have kicked off their much-anticipated three-day tour in Nigeria, and excitement is in the air! The royal couple's visit is creating a buzz across the country, with crowds eagerly awaiting their arrival.
On May 10, 2024, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in Nigeria as part of their efforts to promote the Invictus Games, according to Sky News.
The visit is primarily to promote the Invictus Games and comes after Harry met the Nigerian team and General Christopher Musa at last year’s competition in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The couple are thought to be staying in the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja where the presidential suit costs £600 a night.
It is also close to the Nigerian Defence Headquarters where the couple will have their first engagement at 12pm with General Christopher Musa, Chief of Defence Staff.
'After that they will travel to Kaduna to meet wounded soldiers at a military hospital there before returning to Abuja for other engagements.'
Harry and Meghan are visiting Nigeria on the invitation of General Christopher Musa. He is a Nigerian Army general who is the 18th Chief of Defence Staff of Nigeria.
The couple are due to visit a school before the duke meets injured service members at a military hospital. They will also attend a training session for charity organisation Nigeria: Unconquered, which collaborates with the Invictus Games, as well as a reception where military families will be honoured.
The Duke and Duchess are known for their commitment to important causes, and their visit to Nigeria is no exception. They will shine a spotlight on issues such as education, healthcare, and environmental conservation, highlighting the importance of global cooperation in addressing these challenges.
Their visit serves as a reminder of the enduring bonds between nations and the power of diplomacy to foster positive change.
