President Bola Tinubu paid a state visit to the UK on March 18 and 19, 2026, the first state visit by a Nigerian president to the United Kingdom since 1989, a gap of 37 years. King Charles III and Queen Camilla welcomed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu at Windsor Castle, with the Prince and Princess of Wales also present for the ceremonial welcome.
Tinubu described the visit as "very thrilling and significant," saying discussions covered trade, the economy, climate change, terrorism and global challenges.
Tinubu got his carriage ride and state banquet
King Charles said “Naija no dey carry last”
Nigeria got £746m for two ports
UK-Nigeria trade at record £8.1 billion
Britain got a deportation deal. 2,000+ Nigerians now easier to remove
£420m colonial debt owed to Nigeria, not addressed
Looted artefacts at British Museum, not addressed
Kemi sat in the corner and posted nothing
The visit looked great. Whether Nigeria truly won, that's the real conversation.
King Charles showed Tinubu items from the Royal Collection including a Yoruba beaded throne presented to Queen Elizabeth II in 1965, and photographs of a Yoruba woman named Sarah Forbes Bonetta, who became a protégé of Queen Victoria after being captured as a slave.
