President Macron In Nigeria by Babayero212(m): 6:57pm On Jul 03, 2018
French President, Emmanuel Macron, arrived in Nigeria today to meet with Buhari

The meeting is part of efforts to forge closer ties with English-speaking Africa.

Macron, a 40-year-old former investment banker who speaks fluent English, has made a point of boosting ties with France’s former colonies but also improving trade with anglophone countries.

Later today, he will also visit Lagos State where the state government has planned to host him at the New Afrika Shrine founded by Femi Kuti, son of music legend, Fela Kuti – making him the first president to enter the venue.

The New Afrika Shrine located at Ikeja Lagos was built after the original Shrine by the musical maverick, Fela was burnt down in 1977.

In Lagos, the agenda will be less traditionally diplomatic, with a focus more on the megacity of 20 million people’s artistic and cultural scene.

In the end, we want more Presidents to visit and see that Nigeria is making progress under Buhari's tenure as well.

Well done.

It's unfair to say Nigeria isn't progressing under the Buhari administration. The man keeps making the right alliances with the international community. He's doing great, home and abroad...
