Tinubu's Historic State Visit to Windsor Castle

The British government has released the official itinerary for Bola Ahmed Tinubu's historic visit to Windsor Castle, scheduled from March 17 to March 19. This visit will feature a combination of bilateral engagements and ceremonial activities, including meetings with members of the Nigerian community in the United Kingdom.

Tinubu is expected to arrive on March 18, where he will receive a formal welcome ceremony from Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, on Datchet Road, which will include the playing of national anthems and an inspection of the guard of honour. Following this, Tinubu will proceed in a ceremonial carriage to Windsor Castle, where he will meet King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who will host him during the state visit.

This trip marks the first state visit by a Nigerian president to the United Kingdom in 37 years and highlights the renewed diplomatic engagement between the two countries. Tinubu will be accompanied by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, and the visit follows an official invitation extended by Buckingham Palace earlier in February 2026.
