President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accompanied by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, received a grand ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, marking the beginning of Nigeria’s first state visit to the United Kingdom in 37 years.
The Nigerian First Family was formally received by Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who escorted them to meet King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the historic royal residence.
The president was honoured with a 42-gun salute by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
The two-day visit (March 18–19) includes an exchange of gifts, a private viewing of Nigeria-related artefacts from the Royal Collection, bilateral discussions, and a state banquet at St George’s Hall.
