Michelle Obama pays a visit to Njideka Akunyili Crosby in her studio











Nigeria's Njideka Akunyili Crosby was visited in her studio by former US First Lady, Michelle Obama.



Njideka is a Nigerian-born visual artist. She is also the daughter of the late Dora Akunyili, who was the Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control



Njideka's 2017 botanical painting, titled “Bush Babies”, sold for $3.4 million USD. Since then, there has been a spike in the value of her paintings.



The visit from Michelle Obama was shared to Instagram by Njideka's equally famous sister, Chidiogo Akunyili Parr.



Sharing a photo of Ms Obama hugging Njideka, Chidiogo wrote: "So this just happened! Casual Saturday in the Akunyili Crosby family. When the Michelle Obama pays a visit to your studio! Me to my sister, “if it could come up, make sure to tell her about the book.” "
