On Monday, July 20, President Obama will host Nigerian
President Muhammadu Buhari at the White House.
The visit will underscore the United States’ longstanding friendship
with Nigeria, our commitment to strengthening and expanding our partnership
with Nigeria’s new government, and our support for the Nigerian people
following their historic democratic elections and peaceful transfer of power.
President Obama looks forward to discussing with President
Buhari our many shared priorities including US.-Nigeria cooperation to advance
a holistic, regional approach to combating Boko Haram, as well as Nigeria’s efforts
to advance important economic and political reforms that will help unlock its
full potential as a regional and global leader.
In addition to hosting President Buhari at the White House,
the United States will welcome President Buhari’s senior advisors for
consultations with U.S. counterparts and other events aimed at building on the
strong U.S.-Nigeria relationship.
