Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has acknowledged and expressed gratitude to the Duke of Duchess, His Royal Highness Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, for agreeing to visit Nigeria in May 2024.

During their time in the country, they will interact with service members and attend a variety of cultural activities.

It should be noted that Prince Harry, the Duke of Duchess, founded the Invictus Games, an international multi-sport event that provides a recovery pathway for international wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women.

It also raises soldiers’ awareness and recognition in society, which helps them on their route to rehabilitation.

At the most recent Invictus Games, there were over 500 participants from 21 countries, including Nigeria, which won gold and silver in its first event last year.

A statement by Brig Gen Tukur Vusau, Acting Director of Defence Information said, “The visit is to consolidate Nigeria strong hold at the game and the possibility of hosting the event in later years”.

“The Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Badaru who was at Germany at last year’s event, has accepted to host the games when granted to Nigeria.”
