The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, met with President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja today, November 17, 2025.
Prince Edward is in Nigeria to host a series of events in Lagos from November 17-23, 2025, aimed at expanding the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award across the world.
The event will bring together almost 200 young people from over 50 countries, along with leaders and policymakers, for an intensive three-day youth leadership programme and the International Award’s triennial Forum.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award has seen significant growth, with 1.2 million young people participating in over 130 countries last year.
Nigeria has recorded a 37% surge in participation, reflecting increasing interest in West Africa.
Prince Edward’s visit is part of his efforts to champion the Award’s expansion globally.
