Abuja, May 10, 2024 – Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and wife, Meghan, have arrived in Nigeria for a three-day visit to discuss the possibility of Nigeria hosting the Invictus Games.

The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event invented by Prince Harry. It was first held in 2014. It is for the wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Nigeria on Friday after boarding the British Airways overnight flight to Abuja, according to Charlie Gipson, their spokesperson.

The royal British couple is visiting Nigeria on the invitation of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa.

During their stay, the royals will attend basketball and volleyball matches and will meet with local Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Abuja and Lagos.

Meghan will also co-host an event on ‘Women in Leadership’ with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

The military said the Invictus Games could help the recovery of thousands of its personnel who have been fighting the Boko Haram terrorists and their factions.
