BBC World Service - World Business Report, Nigeria's President in US Visit

President Buhari is the first leader from Africa to visit President Trump in the US.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari is the first leader from Africa to visit President Trump in the US. The BBC's Ishaq Khalid in Abuja tells us what Mr Buhari hopes to achieve with the visit. And we have a report from southern Nigeria exploring the country's attempts to diversify its economy away from oil. Also in the programme, two of Britain's biggest grocers are merging, promising cheaper food. We find out if that's achievable from Bryan Roberts, global insight director at TCC Global, and gauge reaction from the companies' suppliers with Alan Soady of the UK's Federation of Small Businesses.The Indian government claims that every village in the country is now connected to electricity. Sushma Ramachandran is an independent business journalist in Delhi, and tells us that may not be the complete picture. Plus there have been protests in Venice at the installation of turnstiles in an attempt to control tourist numbers. Luijina Romor is a tour guide in the city who is opposed to the turnstiles, but despite her job, does want fewer tourists to visit.
