Seen as long overdue but coming at a time when the country's security challenges are spiraling out of control.
The President of the U.S is expected to parley with President Jonathan on how to tackle niggling problems of insecurity, the economy and trade relations between both nations.
President Obama would be interested in hearing President Jonathan's plan to control the Boko Haram insurgents who he plans to offer amnesty, even as the sect continues to slay hundreds of people.
It is speculated that both presidents will broach issues on economic co-operation not least the upbeat forecasts of the emergence of Nigeria as an economic force.
America would be interested in a partnership that would engender a favourable outcome for both countries whose bilateral trade hit $5trillion in the first quarter of 2012.
Obama's planned session with businessmen while in the country assures that there is yet scope for improving business and trade relations between both countries.
Obama's visit is believed to be five years late given that he was billed to visited the country in his first term in office, especially when he visited other African countries, including Ghana, which is only 30 minutes away from Nigeria by flight.
Hmmm! Mk security try dey tight o becos....
