HC Deb 01 May 1958 vol 587 c51W
82. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to make a statement on the official visit to the Government of Eastern Nigeria by a four-man delegation from Ghana led by Mr. Ako Adjei, the Ghanaian Minister of Justice, indicating the subjects discussed and the results achieved by their conference.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

A visit to Nigeria was proposed by Dr. Nkrumah to inform Nigerian Federal and Regional Ministers about the Conference of independent African States. As the timing was not convenient to all concerned, a party led by the Ghanaian Minister of Justice instead made a short visit to Enugu to meet the Premier of the Eastern Region. The meeting had no connection with official business and I have no information about what took place at it.
