President Bola Tinubu is holding talks with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a bilateral meeting aimed at strengthening relations between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
According to a statement by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the meeting will lead to the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding covering trade, investment, defence, and cultural cooperation.
A key highlight of the engagement is 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 the Lagos Port Complex (Apapa Quays) and the Tin Can Island Port Complex.
The talks underscore Nigeria’s push to deepen bilateral ties, attract foreign investment, and upgrade critical infrastructure to support economic growth.
Earlier, Tinubu and the First Lady were hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.
The President is accompanied by a delegation including Senate President Godswill Akpabio and key cabinet members overseeing finance, trade, defence, and foreign affairs.
