UK state visit: Tinubu holds closed door meeting with PM Starmer

Bola Ahmed Tinubu held a closed-door meeting with Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street during his official visit to United Kingdom.

The meeting was conducted privately, and both leaders did not speak to the press afterward. However, Tinubu described the outcome as “very good” when briefly asked.

The engagement is expected to strengthen diplomatic ties and cooperation between Nigeria and the UK across key sectors.

Reports indicate that the visit will lead to the signing of several agreements covering trade, investment, defence, and cultural partnerships.

One major highlight is a £746 million financing deal involving UK Export Finance, the Nigerian Ports Authority, and Nigeria’s Ministry of Finance.

The deal will support the upgrade of major facilities like the Lagos Port Complex and Tin Can Island Port Complex, boosting maritime infrastructure and trade activities.
