 The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, visited Kaduna State on
Friday and met with wounded and injured Nigerian soldiers at the 44 Nigerian
Army Reference Hospital.

 

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex,
visited Kaduna State on Friday, where they were welcomed by Governor Uba Sani,
who gifted the Duke traditional Hausa attire and photo frames of the prince
with his late mother, Princess Diana, and another with his wife.

 

The duo arrived in Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games, an
initiative Prince Harry founded to support the rehabilitation of wounded and
sick service members and veterans, including Nigerian soldiers engaged in a
14-year conflict against Islamic extremists.

 

A report on the official website of the Duke of Sussex
stated that Prince Harry toured the hospital facilities alongside the Chief
Medical Director, Col. NS Onuchukwu.

 

The report partly read, “Designed to help wounded servicemen
and women recover after injury, the hospital includes a leading physiotherapy
gym and a high-tech prosthetics lab which offers state-of-the-art replacements
to those who have lost limbs – a donation offered by Germany that has been
transformational for on-site prosthetic fittings.

“Prince Harry met up with around 50 courageous soldiers
across two wards, hearing about their stories of service and sacrifice and
wishing them all a speedy recovery. Two of the men he had seen at last year’s
Invictus Games, and their smiles were a reminder of what they’d seen was
possible post-injury.”

 

The report also added that Prince Harry “was especially
pleased to be able to congratulate Princess Owowoh in person since her
graduation from The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.”
