  • Story Text: Nigerian President Goodluck Johnathan visited British Prime Minister David Cameron at Downing Street in London on Monday (February 11) for talks on how to boost relations and trade between the two countries.
    They were expected to discuss economic relations, the upcoming UK-hosted G8 summit in Northern Ireland in the summer and how Nigeria and Britain can work together to combat terrorism.

    "Today we will be talking about the situation in west Africa, the situation in Mali and how Britain and Nigeria can work together," said Cameron.
