Bush Promises Help to Fight AIDS, Malaria in Nigeria
December 14, 2007 at 2:34 PM
AIDS/HIV News
It is the Nigerian leader's first visit to the White House since taking office in late May after April elections that both Washington and the European Union judged as questionable.
Nigeria is the world's fifth largest exporter of petroleum to the United States, and the world's eighth largest oil producer.
Speaking to reporters after their Oval Office meeting, Bush said that his guest "is committed to democracy and rule of law.
"He was very articulate in his desire to make sure that the people of Nigeria understand that their government will be fair and transparent, and will be a government of the people," Bush said.
Bush also praised the Nigerian leader as "committed to seeing to it that compulsory education is followed through on in his country throughout the country, and I admire that. And we want to help you."
Bush said it was in the US national interest to help Nigeria combat the scourges of AIDS and malaria.
Yar'Adua "is strongly committed to helping the Nigerian families affected by these diseases get treatment and help," Bush said.
Bush also said he would ask the US Congress to double the US commitment in programs against AIDS, "because we believe it's in our interests to help you if you so desire."
