Barring any last minute change, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Prince Harry and Meghan are billed to arrive in Nigeria on Friday.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will be in Nigeria for a three-day private visit following an invitation by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa.
The Director of Sports, Defence Headquarters, DHQ, Air Vice Marshal Abidemi Marquis, said the founder of Invictus Games will spend three days in Nigeria and would interact with wounded soldiers and their families.
He said the visit scheduled from 10th to 13th May 2024 would help wounded soldiers in their recovery efforts.
Marquis said: “Because we realised that 80 per cent of our soldiers have been involved in this recovery programme, they are getting better.
“Their outlook on life is positive. You know, when you are engaged in, you experience a permanent disability, you know, issues, it affects your mental health and also your outlook on life.”
In April, the Nigerian Defence Headquarters had announced the visit of Megan and Prince Harry.
He said that the royal couple will be meeting with military personnel and will be hosted to different cultural activities during their visit in Nigeria.
