Tillerson arrived in Nairobi on Friday as part of a five-nation tour of Africa that includes Ethiopia, Chad, Nigeria and Djibouti.
He had cancelled most of his schedule in Kenya on Saturday due to illness but recovered later on Sunday.
“The Secretary is feeling better and will resume his normal schedule tomorrow (Sunday),” Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Steve Goldstein told the pool reporters traveling with the secretary.
In a schedule released by the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, the Secretary was expected to arrive the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at 2:50pm and will be received by the Permanent Secretary of the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Lolo Bulus.
