President Goodluck Meets Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas [Photos]

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and President Goodluck Jonathan had a much publicised meeting in Ramallah this week.

The two leaders agreed to "bolster bilateral relations", revealed a source at the public relations department in the Nigerian embassy in Tel Aviv.

In the meeting that lasted about half an hour, there were no formal agreements, and nothing was signed, although this was only as a courtesy call by President Jonathan.

The President is currently visiting the holy land on a pilgrimage of sorts.

Ahead of his meeting with Abbas, Jonathan placed a wreath on the grave of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat."
