In a high-level bilateral meeting on Monday in London, President Bola Tinubu met with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom with the goal of enhancing economic cooperation and Nigeria-UK relations.
The signing of a £746 million financing agreement between UK Export Finance, the Nigerian Ports Authority, and the Federal Ministry of Finance is one of the meeting’s main highlights, according to Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser Information and Strategy to President Tinubu.
Nigeria’s aspirations to upgrade important transport and commerce infrastructure will be supported by the deal, which would finance the renovation of two vital maritime infrastructures: the Lagos Port Complex (Apapa Quays) and the Tin Can Island Port Complex.
Prior to their meeting, both leaders were spotted on the steps of 10 Downing Street in central London.
