Obama Snubs Nigeria As He Visits Senegal, S’Africa, Tanzania

Nigeria’s Presidency will again be disappointed that for the second time in his administration, President Barack Obama and his wife Michele will be embarking on their second tour of Africa between June 26 and July 3, but will not visit Nigeria because of security concerns.

The Presidency was upbeat that Mr. Obama would visit the country whenever his itinerary was released but instead, the world’s most powerful President chose to visit Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania, during his eight-day visit to the continent.
