President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is holding high-level talks with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between both countries.

According to a statement by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the meeting is expected to culminate in the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding covering trade, investment, defence, and cultural cooperation.

A major 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 will fund the refurbishment of key maritime facilities, including the Lagos Port Complex (Apapa Quays) and the Tin Can Island Port Complex.

The talks underscore Nigeria’s push to attract foreign investment and modernise critical infrastructure to drive economic growth.

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

The President is accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Senate President Godswill Akpabio and several cabinet members and top security officials.
