The Duke of Edinburgh is visiting Nigeria and Ghana to celebrate the relationship between the UK and both Commonwealth countries. The visits have a particular focus on supporting young people, and highlighting the positive impact of sport.

His Royal Highness visited Nigeria to attend The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Gold Event and Forum, hosted by The International Award for Young People Nigeria. 

On arrival in Abuja, Nigeria, The Duke met the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Forum meets every three years and convenes almost 200 young people from more than 50 countries over the week alongside hundreds of leaders delivering the Award globally. During the event, His Royal Highness delivered the keynote address.

The international gathering took part in an intensive three-day youth leadership programme, before joining the International Award’s triennial Forum focused on expanding access to the Award globally.

His Royal Highness also visited a girls’ secondary school in Lagos to hear about their experiences of participating in the Award, which places a strong emphasis on skills developed beyond the classroom, such as teamwork, communication skills, resilience and problem-solving.
