The Nation Newspaper Sanwo-olu receives Prince Harry, Meghan
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu yesterday received the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, at the State House in Marina.
The Duke and Duchess are on a three-day visit to promote the Invictus Games in Nigeria. Prince Harry founded the games in 2014 as a way to raise funds and support serving members of the military and veterans to overcome their physical and mental illness or injuries, which would help them develop a sense of belonging, as well as increase their self-esteem.
“It has been a very interesting and informative trip for them. They have seen a lot, and part of the things we are hoping they will take away is the diversity and largeness of our country, how we continue to live together in peace and harmony, and what role Lagos plays in the whole conversation.“They have been to Kano, Abuja, and now Lagos. I am sure they have their own experience of what Nigeria looks like.
“Mental health issues are all around us. Denial and stigmatisation are some of the things we talked about. And, more importantly, at what point in Nigeria we have the Invictus Games that Prince Harry is known for so that the true Nigerian competitiveness can also be reflected in those games.”
