According to the statement, Harry’s decision to visit Nigeria is sequel to an invitation from the DHQ and will revolve around conversations on possibilities of Nigeria hosting the Invictus Games.
Prince Harry and Wife
The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event. Participants include wounded, injured, and ill servicemen and women — whether serving or veterans.
It is organised by the Invictus Games Foundation founded by Harry.
The international multi-sport event also offers a recovery pathway for the affected soldiers and spotlights their rehabilitation journey.
Last year, Nigeria participated in the games for the first time. The country was the only African representative at the event, swooping gold and bronze medals along the way.
“During their stay in the country, they will be meeting with Service members and will be hosted to arrays of cultural activities,” the statement said.
“The visit is to consolidate Nigeria’s strong hold at the game and the possibility of hosting the event years later.”
Minister of Defense Muhammad Abubakar Badaru
Gusau said Mohammed Baduru, minister of defence, who was at the event in Germany last year, is keen on playing host should Nigeria get the nod.

The trip will also be a first for Meghan who had once said she has 43 percent Nigerian ancestry.
Additional details about the visit are expected to be made public in the coming days.
