King Hosts Nigerian President for Ramadan-Adjusted State Visit in Windsor
The visit, the first by a Nigerian leader in 37 years, includes a Ramadan-adjusted schedule and aims to boost trade, create hundreds of UK jobs, and promote interfaith dialogue.
- King Charles is hosting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu at Windsor Castle for a two-day state visit, marking the first such Ramadan-adapted event in nearly 100 years.
- This visit marks the first Nigerian state visit to the United Kingdom in 37 years, aiming to deepen cooperation across trade, finance, and defence while strengthening bilateral ties.
- Nigerian firms are expanding UK operations, with Zenith Bank opening a Manchester branch creating 30 new jobs and financial technology platform LemFi investing £100 million over five years.
- Despite the visit proceeding as planned, Monday's suicide bombing in Borno state killed 23 people, while UK lawmakers urged the government to address the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
- To accommodate Ramadan, the program replaces the traditional lunch with a night-time state banquet; Tinubu will depart Thursday evening as Eid-al-Fitr begins, concluding the religious observance.
