Others at the airport to receive the President were the Ugandan minister for Regional Cooperation Asumani Kiyingi, Ugandan High Commissioner to Nigeria Kagimu Kiwanuka and other diplomats from African countries accredited to Nigeria.

During his stay in Nigeria the President will give a public lecture on the topic “Education and National Development, an African Perspective” to the Nigerian Institute of advanced and legal studies.

Cooperation between the two countries is growing stronger with over 1000 Nigerian tourists visiting Uganda since January last year and Nigerian investments growing.
