United States President George W. Bush arrives Nigeria today in the last leg of his five-nation African tour.

The visit, coming barely three years after a similar one by former US President Bill Clinton, coincides with the discovery of a new deepwater offshore field with about 300 million barrel of recoverable oil reserves. ---

--- as Nigeria's oil reserves continue to grow amid tight production limit approved by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), US may use the opportunity of Bush visit to the country today, to renew pressure on it to quit OPEC. ---

"Key US energy experts have been holding discussions with the Nigerian government officials before now," a ministry source disclosed.

Already, the US is baiting Nigeria with plans to increase its purchase of Nigeria's liquefied natural gas (LNG). ---
