The President of one of the most powerful nations on the African continent is accompanied by a high-powered delegation, and would stay until Saturday.
In the last few days since news of the visit broke, the Nigerian community, alongside the High Commission in Banjul, went into a frenzy stepping up preparations for a grand welcome for Jonathan who is on his first visit to The Gambia.
Nigeria is perhaps The Gambia’s biggest post independence ally in her development programmes, with a long history of cooperation in the judicial, academic and military fields.
