THE heightening of security in Abuja on
Thursday notwithstanding, the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton,
shelved many of the activities scheduled for her and left Nigeria for
Ghana.
She later
held a meeting with the
Ghanaian President, Mr. John Mahama, at his residence in Accra. She is
billed to participate in the state funeral for the late President John
Attah Mill.
Clinton, on the last lap of her
nine-nation African tour, departed the country shortly after a
closed-door meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan and the National
Security Council, but she shelved scheduled meeting, with civil society
groups and anti-corruption campaigners billed for the US Ambassador’s
residence in Abuja. The US Secretary of State also shelved the traditional ‘Meet and Greet’ with US Embassy staff.
