A NIGERIAN king is set to visit Oxford next month as part of a two-week tour in Britain.
Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, crowned the Ooni of Ife in 2015, is one of the most influential of the Yoruba people, Nigeria’s second biggest ethnic group.
The 42-year-old accountant is due to visit Britain for the Commonwealth African Summit in London, from March 13 to 15.
He will come to Oxford on March 22 to give a lecture at Oxford University, before taking a tour of the Ashmolean Museum.
King Ogunwusi is also expected to have dinner with university officials.
The Commonwealth summit he is attending earlier in March will focus on ‘leveraging our Commonwealth heritage for economic development’.
