Theresa May Arrives Nigeria

British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has arrived Abuja, Nigeria and is currently been received by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.

Other top government officials are also on ground to receive the British PM who is making a first visit to the country since she became Prime Minister in 2016.

The two leaders will hold discussions, as well as sign vital defence and economic agreements involving Nigeria and the UK.

The British Prime Minister is also scheduled to visit Lagos state during her visit to Nigeria.

She is accompanied by a 30-man business delegation as part of her efforts to “deepen and strengthen” partnerships around the world as the UK prepares to leave the European Union (EU) next year.
