The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has arrived in Lagos for his first official visit to Nigeria and Africa since assuming office, leading a 26-member delegation of UK-based unicorn tech companies.
The high-level visit is aimed at deepening economic and business ties between London and Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation.
Mayor Khan’s arrival comes at a poignant moment, just days after the passing of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who died in London on Sunday.
