Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales have formally welcomed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu to the United Kingdom, marking Nigeria’s first state visit to the country in 37 years.

The historic reception underscores renewed diplomatic engagement between Nigeria and the United Kingdom, with the royal couple, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, playing host to the Nigerian delegation.

The visit is expected to strengthen bilateral ties, foster economic cooperation, and deepen cultural relations between both nations after decades without a formal state level engagement.
