Invictus Games: Meghan And Prince Harry Arrives Nigeria
After boarding the British Airways overnight trip to Abuja on Friday, they arrived after a short delay caused by the scheduled pilot’s illness, which required hasty arrangements for a substitute.
As they arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, just before five in the morning, a few Nigerian officials greeted them. They were then led through a side entrance onto the jetty and onto a waiting minibus that had been completely blacked out.
Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, a spokesman for the defense department, told the Daily Mail that “they will be tired after their journey, so they will rest and then the first engagement is at midday at the Defence Headquarters.”
“They will then go to a military hospital in Kaduna to visit injured soldiers before going back to Abuja for additional engagements.”

The Duchess of Sussex disclosed in 2022 that she had found out through a genealogical test that she was 43% Nigerian.
Harry visited General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, and the Nigerian team during the competition in Dusseldorf, Germany, last year. The main purpose of Harry’s visit is to raise awareness of the Invictus Games.
There, he revealed to the crowd that Meghan was “rooting for Team Nigeria” after learning of her ancestry from the country in West Africa.
General Musa has invited Harry and Meghan to visit Nigeria.
Before the duke visits injured service members at a military hospital, the couple is scheduled to visit a school.
They will also go to a training session for Nigeria: Unconquered, a nonprofit that works with the Invictus Games.
The couple will attend a Nigeria Unconquered training session and a reception in honor of military families on Saturday, both of which are being hosted by the Chief of Defence Staff.
Meghan will co-host a Women in Leadership session in the afternoon alongside World Trade Organization Director General Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
The couple’s activities on Sunday include a polo fundraiser for Nigeria: Unconquered, a cultural reception, and a basketball clinic with Giants of Africa.
