Royal Visit: Prince Harry and Meghan Set to Charm Nigeria in May 2024
In a thrilling announcement from the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), Nigeria eagerly anticipates the upcoming visit of royalty.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, have graciously accepted an invitation to journey to Nigeria in May of this year.
According to a press statement released by Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, Director of Defence Information, the DHQ is honored and thrilled by the prospect of hosting the esteemed royal couple.
Their visit promises to be a momentous occasion filled with cultural exchange and engagement with Nigeria’s service members.
One highlight of the royal couple’s itinerary will be their interaction with service members, a gesture that underscores Prince Harry’s profound commitment to the welfare of armed forces personnel.
As the founder of the Invictus Games, an internationally acclaimed sporting event catering to wounded, injured, and sick service personnel, Prince Harry has demonstrated unwavering support for those who have served their countries with valor.
Nigeria’s participation in the Invictus Games has been nothing short of exemplary, with last year’s debut yielding impressive results, including gold and silver medals.
The upcoming royal visit aims to further strengthen Nigeria’s presence in the global arena of adaptive sports and explore the possibility of hosting future editions of the Invictus Games on Nigerian soil.
The Honourable Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Badaru, who attended last year’s event in Germany, has already expressed Nigeria’s willingness to host the prestigious games.
“This affirmation underscores Nigeria’s commitment to providing a platform for the rehabilitation and recognition of its brave service members.
“As anticipation mounts and preparations are underway, Nigeria eagerly awaits the arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan, eager to embrace the spirit of camaraderie and resilience championed by the royal couple through the Invictus Games initiative.
