Obama to visit Nigeria Friday-As he begins 5-nation tour; arrives London for G20
UNITED States president, Barack Obama, will visit Nigeria on Friday as part of his five-nation tour which will last eight days.
The 47-year-old who was elected the first black president of the US is expected to arrive Abuja, Nigeria’s seat of power at about 3.45pm on Friday, according to White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs.
Obama, who arrived London on Tuesday with an entorage numbering over 500 to attend the G20 summit is also due to visit four other countries, including Turkey and France.
A White House press released made available to Naijahotjobs DVT indicated that Obama will hold a meeting with his Nigerian counterpart, President President Yar A’dua at the State House shortly after his arrival.
Top on the agenda of their proposed meeting are global economic crisis and bilateral relations, with emphasis on trade. They are also to discuss the continued unrest in Darfur and by extention the Niger Delta.
Obama accompanied by his wife, Michelle, will depart for the United States Information Centre, Lagos, where the he will commission a new library complex dedicated to the legendary Martin Luther King Jr. He is also expected to visit the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akinolu.
The released added that Obama and his wife will be honoured with chieftaincy titles by the Oba.
Before leaving for Lagos, the US first lady, according to the release, will visit an unnamed motherless home in Abuja, which islikely to be named after her. She is particularly known to have high regard for moral values in the family. She once said White House staff should not make her children’s bed, claiming her children must continue to make their beds as was the case before they moved into the White House.
The son of a Kenyan father rose to become the first African-American president of the US in a keenly contested presidential election which was conducted on 4 November. He was sworn in an historic occasion that was watched by billions of people worldwide.
The world’s First Couple will depart Nigeria for Russia on Saturday. Stories like this are cute ways of making you feel the season of April Fool’s Day.
So, enjoy it while it lasted.
Happy April Fool’s Day
This month will be filled with God's Blessing & Favor.
It shall be a month filled with Goodnews for everyone & all your heart desires shall be met.
