President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently holding talks with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a high-level bilateral meeting aimed at strengthening relations between Nigeria and Britain.

According to a statement issued on Monday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the meeting is expected to result in the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding and agreements covering trade, investment, defence, and cultural cooperation.

The statement noted that the engagement underscores Nigeria’s commitment to deepening bilateral ties, attracting foreign investment, and modernising critical infrastructure to drive economic growth.

A key highlight of the visit is the signing of a £746 million financing agreement involving UK Export Finance, the Nigerian Ports Authority, and the Federal Ministry of Finance. The deal is expected to fund the rehabilitation of two major maritime facilities—the Lagos Port Complex (Apapa Quays) and the Tin Can Island Port Complex.

Earlier, President Tinubu and the First Lady were hosted by Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.

The President is accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi; Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; Minister of Information and National Orientation, Idris Mohammed; and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu.

Other members of the delegation include Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole; Minister of Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa; Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani; Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa; National Security Adviser, Malam Nuhu Ribadu; and Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Mohammed Mohammed.
