OBASANJO MAKES FIRST VISIT TO UNITED STATES BY NIGERIAN HEAD OF STATE.
General Olusegun Obasanjo, the President of Nigeria, met President Carter at the start of an official visit to the United States. It was the first visit ever by a Nigerian Head of State to the White House.
SYNOPSIS: General Obasanjo was in Washington for two days of talks with President Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. And he made it plain that he wanted to have a lot to say about Rhodesia and South Africa while he was there. But that was later. His arrival at the White House on Tuesday was a time for pomp and ceremony.
In later speeches, General Obasanjo has been highly critical of what he called 'oppressive racist policies' in South Africa. And he has offered Nigerian troops for any UN peace keeping force in Rhodesia. But arrival speeches at the White House were formal, brief and friendly.
