The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, on Wednesday afternoon arrived the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, as part of her visit to Lagos State, where she was billed to spend time with victims of modern slavery during her brief stay in the nation’s commercial hub.
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State, accompanied by his deputy, among other state officials, had earlier arrived at the presidential lounge of the MMA to receive the British leader. May had earlier arrived in the country and met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the New Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja.
Nigeria and Britain also signed two agreements on Defence and
Security partnership as well as Economic Development Forum before she headed to Lagos. May’s visit to Nigeria is part of her tour of some African countries.
The Prime Minister is expected in Nairobi on Thursday, where she will meet President Uhuru Kenyatta and see British soldiers’ troops from Kenya and other African countries in the techniques needed to identify and destroy improvised explosive devices before they go to fight Al-Shabaab in Somalia.
The prime minister is on a trade mission in an attempt to bolster Britain’s post-Brexit fortunes. This is her first visit to Africa since she became Prime Minister in 2016.
