Obama Wants Govt to Spearhead Good Governance in Africa

United States President Barack Obama has called on Nigeria to help strengthen good governance in Africa.

Making the call while hosting President Goodluck Jonathan at the White House in Washington DC on Wednesday evening, the US President also congratulated the Nigerian leader on his inauguration for second term, and all Nigerians for the success of the April general elections.

A source at the meeting held behind closed doors told THISDAY that Obama said he hopes President Jonathan would use his new tenure "to diversify the Nigerian economy and strengthen democracy and good governance in Africa".
