President Bola Tinubu has been accorded a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle, marking the start of his state visit to the United Kingdom. This visit is the first of its kind by a Nigerian leader in 37 years.
Accompanied by his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, the Nigerian first family received a 42-gun salute from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery in honour of the occasion.
Earlier, Prince William and Princess Catherine personally greeted President Tinubu and his wife, introducing them to King Charles and Queen Camilla at the royal residence.
King Charles will host the Tinubus at Windsor Castle throughout the two-day visit, which underscores the enduring diplomatic ties between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
