President Bola Tinubu will embark on a two-day state visit to the United Kingdom from March 18 to 19, 2026, following an official invitation from King Charles III.

The visit was announced on Sunday via a post on the official X handle of the British royal family, which stated that the Nigerian leader would be formally hosted by the King and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.

According to the post, Tinubu will be accompanied by his wife and First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, during the visit.

The post read, “The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accompanied by the First Lady, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, has accepted an invitation from His Majesty The King to pay a state visit to the United Kingdom from Wednesday, 18th March to Thursday, 19th March 2026. The King and Queen will host the state visit at Windsor Castle.”

Reacting to the announcement, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, noted that it would be the first state visit by a Nigerian leader to the UK in 37 years.

He wrote, “First state visit of a Nigerian leader to the UK in 37 years confirmed. President Tinubu and First Lady Remi Tinubu to be hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla from 18th March to 19th March 2026.”

The last Nigerian leader state visit to the UK was in 1989, when former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, was hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II for four days.

The British Broadcasting Corporation has described state visits as a tool of soft-power diplomacy, combining royal ceremony and hospitality to strengthen ties with key international partners.

Tinubu and King Charles, who both assumed office in May 2023, have met on several occasions.

In November 2023, the Nigerian leader met the monarch in Dubai ahead of the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), describing the engagement as an important step toward deepening bilateral relations.

In September 2024, King Charles also received Tinubu at Buckingham Palace during a private meeting.

The British monarch has longstanding personal ties with Nigeria and has openly expressed his fondness for Pidgin English and Afrobeats music.

Before ascending the throne, he visited Nigeria four times as Prince of Wales—in 1990, 1999, 2006, and 2018. Camilla, then the Duchess of Cornwall, accompanied him on the 2018 visit.

In 2023, the King’s Trust International, formerly known as the Prince’s Trust, officially launched operations in Nigeria, unveiling initiatives aimed at addressing youth unemployment in the country.

Is this how other president from other countries are operating?

Spending few days in their country and spending more days in foreign countries.


Hypocrisy is the greatest problem for some people from a certain region.

Sincerely, if the life and times of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) happened to have been documented from birth, more than half of the world will worship him in decades to come.

Practically none like him.

The tourist President.
I hope you can come back and build the same infrastructure and health care system you see in those countries that you visit

This one thinks being the president is to be travelling upandan?

Ajala the BAT.

How many times have other nation's heads come to your own country? It is because they have enough stuff to fry...
Even without His Majesty's invite, traveling is a hobby. By April, another one would in pipeline.
Junketting around like someone without a job, of course there's no serious job to do as a retired President.

What was that last line bro .... 😂😂😂

What a jobless president. He is really outperforming Buhari in his senseless travels. Imagine spending 23 days outside your job and still getting paid. What a fraudster. His followers are some of the moat brainwashed praise singers in the world. Disgusting

They should please give him a befitting full agbada for these trips...I don't like the flowing gown he wears on foreign missions.

Just go for medical check up and stop talking about state visit. Is state visit not for one who has something to offer? What can he offer to the UK?
