King Charles will host President Tinubu and his wife at Windsor Castle from Wednesday, March 18, to Thursday, March 19.
The state visit is the first by a Nigerian leader in 37 years. President Tinubu is also the first Nigerian leader to be hosted by the British monarch at Windsor Castle.
Nigeria and the United Kingdom share a deep history of ties and a special bond. The purpose of this visit is to strengthen bilateral relations and explore avenues for collaboration on issues such as immigration, trade, investment, and cultural exchange.
While at Windsor Castle, Their Majesties will invite the President and the First Lady to view a special exhibition of items from the Royal Collection related to Nigeria. Later, the King and the President will hold private discussions and meet with organisations engaged in interfaith dialogue, both nationally and internationally.
The Royal Family will host a State Banquet in honour of the Nigerian guests in the evening.
President Tinubu will also hold a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street, which will lead to expanded bilateral engagement between senior officials of the two countries. The meeting will culminate in the signing of various Memoranda of Understanding and agreements, including those on trade, investment, defence, and cultural cooperation.
President Tinubu will witness the signing of the landmark £746 million financing deal between the UK Export Finance (UKEF) and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and Federal Ministry of Finance to support the refurbishment of two of Nigeria's major national maritime infrastructure - the Lagos Port Complex (Apapa Quays) and the Tin Can Island Port Complex.
The President will be the guest of honour at the Nigerian Modernism exhibition, showcasing modern arts and culture, and will also attend a reception with Nigerian and British business leaders and the diaspora community.
Members of the President’s entourage include: Senate President, Godswill Akpabio; Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi SAN; Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; Minister of Information and National Orientation, Idris Mohammed, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu; Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; and Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole.

President Tinubu will return to the country at the conclusion of the State Visit
God bless Nigeria.
ReplyDeletePresident Tinubu will do well, and Nigeria will regain its status as the giant of Africa.
Those who used to complain about so many things but today they tell you inflation reduction does not matter, rising foreign reserves does not matter, improving exchange rates does not matter, even Peter Obi was saying the reduction in food price is not a good thing.
Do we still have problems like insecurity, electricity problems and pothers, of course ys; but that is not a reason to deny the areas we have made progress.
Growth and development is a process and i am happy we are on that journey already,
Well written anon.
DeleteBv God's Favor
Collect your data money in peace and keep delivering. If Peter Obi makes a kobo every time you people mention his name. He will be richer than Nigeria.
Delete@Zaram, sorry e dey pain you that the country is making progress.
DeleteLet me add another one, it has just been announced that Nigeria's trade surplus in year 2025 was N17.78 trillion, the highest in over 12 years. We are marching on.
Funny how you obidients see anyone talking positively about the country as a data boy or girl. Very unpatriotic set of Nigerians.
They talk about your candidate's goofs because he is always talking and talking rubbish and negative things. If he stops talking anyhow, we will stop pointing out his gaffes.
Other opposition candidates talk only when necessary, not everyday cho cho cho
No be only special bond!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Activities plenty oo, Weldon Mr president
ReplyDeletesafe trip while going 👍
President Trump has called him out about this his trip to the UK when his own country is in shambles. He urged the prime minister to put him on a plane and send him back to Nigeria with immediate effect. Being with the military and on ground with the citizens of your country, is better than cutting ribbons in London.
ReplyDeleteLol.. You mean you actually believe that fake Trump tweet.
DeleteSo with all that Trump is dealing with on Iran and the Middle East war, you think it is Tinubu Travelling to the UK that will be his problem.
Make obidients try another lambda
Treat your Obiness. The constant complaining is tasking to your health. Even ordinary fake tweet, you can't discern.
