Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua has made his first public comments since he entered a hospital in Saudi Arabia in November. President Yar'Adua says he is getting better and looks forward to returning to work. He also said that he hopes to make enough progress to return to Nigeria soon. The Nigerian leader spoke late Monday with the British Broadcasting Corporation. He gave no information about when he might return home. Nigerian officials say he was being treated for a heart condition. He is also known to suffer from a kidney problem. On Tuesday, Nigerian lawmakers voted to send a delegation to Saudi Arabia to visit the President and discuss important issues.
