Bola Ahmed Tinubu@officialABAT·27 Mar

Last week in the United Kingdom, we took important steps to deepen a partnership that has stood the test of time. But this visit was not about history. It was about the future. Trade. Investment. Jobs. Opportunities for our people. From our engagements to the agreements signed, we are building a relationship that delivers real value for Nigerians. Thank you, Your Majesty King Charles III, and the good people of the United Kingdom for the welcome.

Honoured to engage with Christian leaders in this period of Easter. Our discussion offered a valuable chance to reflect, learn from one another, and strengthen cooperation across religious communities - essential for peacebuilding as Nigeria moves forward.

It was an honour to host Iftar for the 3rd time in Nigeria. This Ramadan, overlapping with Lent, is a powerful symbol of unity across faith which fuels progress, strengthens communities & keeps us connected through shared values. #iftar #Ramadan

Great to have this happening in Cambridge. UK is pleased to share our experience of establishing an international financial centre.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu@jidesanwoolu

Today, at the Nigeria Foreign Direct Investment Training Programme at the University of Cambridge, I shared an important update about His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, and how excited he is about the proposed Lagos International Financial Centre. He understands what this could mean for Nigeria and is looking forward to receiving a detailed proposal. His readiness to engage and provide leadership is encouraging. The Lagos International Financial Centre is not about Lagos alone, and it is not about any individual. It is about positioning Nigeria properly within the global financial system. If we get this right, we will create jobs, attract investment, and send a clear signal that Nigeria is serious about competing at the highest level. I am grateful to our partners, including TheCityUK and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, as well as EnterpriseNGR and private sector leaders who are committed to making this vision a reality. We have started the work. Now we must stay focused and see it through.
