Britain's Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, walk out after meeting the students at the Lightway Academy in Abuja, Nigeria, May 10, 2024.KADUNA, Nigeria — Prince Harry and his wife Meghan were greeted with wild cheers, song and dance as they visited a school to talk about mental health in Nigeria's capital Abuja on Friday and the Duke of Sussex later met wounded soldiers in northern Kaduna.
The couple were invited to Nigeria by the chief of defence staff Christopher Musa who told them the armed forces faced armed criminal gangs and jihadists and that improvised explosive devices presented "the greatest challenge". In Abuja, Harry and Meghan visited Lightway Academy, which is run by a non-profit organisation supported by their Archewell Foundation. They were received with wild cheers and serenaded by dancers and singers."Too many people don't want to talk about it 'cause it's invisible. It's something in our mind that we can't see. It's not like a broken leg, it's not like a broken wrist," said Harry.
Meghan said they were honoured to make their first visit to Nigeria and urged the students not to suffer in silence.
