Tennis icon, Venus Williams, finally arrived in Lagos, as widely reported in the local and international media.
Venus arrived in Lagos at about 3:35pm, aboard a Delta Airline flight. She was welcomed to the hands of officials of Connect Marketing Services Ltd and scores of journalists, who had been waiting anxiously outside of the arrival lounge of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja.
Much later, Serena, who has just clinched the WTA title which just ended in Istanbul, Turkey, arrived in Lagos at 9pm local time, on Tuesday.
The Williams sisters are in Lagos as part of the Nigerian leg of a planned tour of two African countries, namely Nigeria and South Africa.
They are here on the platform of Breaking The Mould (BTM) campaign, a women's empowerment programme put together by Octagon and its West Africa affiliate, Connect Marketing Services Ltd.
While in Lagos, they will participate in a number of supporting initiatives such as a tennis clinic, school visit, exhibition match and gala dinner e.t.c.
Welcome dears!
