President Clinton will visit Nigeria and Tanzania on a brief tour seen as symbolic. He will praise Obasanjo’s reform, discuss oil efficiency and debt relief, and witness Mandela’s peace efforts in Arusha while avoiding hotspots in northern and southern Nigeria due to sensitivities. He plans meetings with regional leaders, a Nigerian legislative address, and visits to a women’s development center and business leaders.
