United States Secretary of State, Hillary
Clinton, is billed to visit Nigeria early next month.Though the visit has not
been officially announced by the US government, sources at the State Department
said preparations were in top gear for the Secretary of State to be in Abuja
early August on a one-day visit.
It was learnt that Nigerian Ambassador, Professor Adebowale Adefuye, who would
begin his annual leave early August, has held several meetings with officials
of the US government on the planned visit.
Though we could not confirm the exact date of the planned visit at the time of
going to press, it was learnt from sources at the State Department that Clinton’s itinerary includes meeting with top Nigerian
officials in Abuja.
We also gathered that while in Abuja, Hillary may also use the
opportunity of her visit to announce some major gains of the Nigeria, US Binational Commission
(BNC).
It was Clinton who signed the Bi-national Commission Agreement with the then
Secretary to the Federal Government, Ahmed Yayale, at the State Department, Washington DC in April of 2010.
