President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was given a grand ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, signalling the beginning of his state visit to the United Kingdom.
The visit is particularly significant, as it marks the first time in 37 years that a Nigerian leader has undertaken such a trip.
Accompanied by the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, the President was honoured with a 42-gun salute by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
Earlier, the Nigerian First Family was warmly received by Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who escorted them to meet King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the historic castle.
During the two-day visit, King Charles will host the President and his wife at the royal residence. Planned activities include an exchange of gifts and a private viewing of Nigeria-related artefacts from the Royal Collection.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
A state banquet is also scheduled to take place at St George’s Hall as part of the series of high-level engagements.
