The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, has explained the mission of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan in Nigeria.
The royal British couple on the invitation of the Chief of Defence arrived the country today on a three-day private visit.
Shedding lights on the visit, Gen. Musa through the Director of Sports at the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), Air Vice Marshal Abidemi Marquis, said Markel and Prince Harry’s mission is to interact with wounded soldiers and their families.
“Because we realised that 80 per cent of our soldiers have been involved in this recovery programme, they are getting better. Their outlook on life is positive. You know, when you are engaged in, you experience a permanent disability. Some issues affect the mental health and outlook to life.
“But the recovery programme has given them an opportunity to improve their personal self-esteem to improve their mental health, and their emotional intelligence has improved. Also, with their families seeing them, as they used to be the breadwinners who are capable of continuing living,” Marcus remarked.
Recall that Harry founded Invictus Games, a global sports festival for wounded soldiers similar to Paralympics.
