Additionally, there was a gift exchange and a display of Nigerian-related objects from the Royal Collection.
Following that, Tinubu and King Charles are scheduled to speak at a banquet. Celebrities and leaders are anticipated to attend.
The president and his wife are expected to lay a wreath of flowers on the tomb of the late Queen Elizabeth II in St George’s Chapel. They are also anticipated to meet with organisations engaged in interfaith dialogue.
According to the official program, Tinubu is scheduled to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Nigerians living overseas on Thursday. Last week, King Charles held a banquet at St. James’s Palace for Nigerian diaspora members.
In advance of next year’s presidential election, the state visit gives Nigeria and Britain, which already have a close diplomatic relationship, an opportunity to talk about security, trade, and governance challenges.
