Khan is leading a delegation of 26 unicorn companies seeking to strengthen business partnerships with Nigerian firms.

During his visit to Lagos, he described the city as one of the most culturally dynamic in the world.

“Fantastic to see Nike Art Gallery while in Lagos, a hub for preserving Nigeria’s rich artistic heritage and empowering a new generation of creatives,” Khan shared on social media.

In an interview with Channels Television’s Amarachi Ubani, the Mayor said, “It is important for London and Lagos to connect, in such a way to strengthen future developmental innovations.”

Khan also expressed condolences over the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away on Sunday in London.

“I extend my sympathy to the Buhari family and the entire Nigerian nation,” he said.

Buhari was buried Tuesday in Daura, Katsina State.
