Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, alongside Meghan, his wife, will visit Nigeria in May, the defence headquarters has said.According to the statement, Harry’s decision to visit Nigeria is sequel to an invitation from the DHQ and will revolve around conversations on possibilities of Nigeria hosting the Invictus Games.
The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event. Participants include wounded, injured, and ill servicemen and women — whether serving or veterans.The international multi-sport event also offers a recovery pathway for the affected soldiers and spotlights their rehabilitation journey. Last year, Nigeria participated in the games for the first time. The country was the only African representative at the event, swooping gold and bronze medals.“During their stay in the country, they will be meeting with Service members and will be hosted to arrays of cultural activities,” the statement said.
“The visit is to consolidate Nigeria’s strong hold at the game and the possibility of hosting the event years later.” Gusau said Mohammed Baduru, minister of defence, who was at the event in Germany last year, is keen on playing host should Nigeria get the nod.AdvertisementClick on the link below to join TheCable Channel on WhatsApp for your Breaking News, Business Analysis, Politics, Fact Check, Sports and Entertainment News!
