- Story Text: Britain's King Charles welcomed Nigerian President Bola Tinubu at Windsor Castle on Wednesday (March 18), in the first state visit by a Nigerian leader in 37 years, which is aimed at strengthening bilateral ties.
With trade between the two countries at a record high, Charles was expected to highlight the deep cultural and commercial links during Tinubu's two-day visit.
Tinubu and his wife, Oluremi, were received by heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Kate for the journey to Windsor Castle on Wednesday morning.
They were then greeted by the king and Queen Camilla before a full ceremonial welcome featuring a royal salute, a carriage procession and a state banquet.
Britain is home to a large Nigerian diaspora, with about 300,000 Nigerians living in the UK.
