(Trinidad Guardian) Nigerian president Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan and a 70-member delegation will be the Government’s specially invited guests for next week’s Emancipation celebrations. At yesterday’s post-cabinet media briefing, acting Foreign Affairs Minister Suruj Rambachan announced the visit of the Nigerian team—from July 31 to August 2. Jonathan, 55, will be accompanied on the visit by his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan. The delegation will arrive at Piarco Airport at 5 pm next Tuesday. Rambachan said Jonathan’s Emancipation visit—the Nigerian president’s first to T&T—comes as a result of talks Prime Minister Kamla Persad- Bissessar held with Jonathan during last year’s Commonwealth leaders’ conference in Australia.
