A statement from the White House reads
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 U.S.-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.
