BBC:
King Charles will host the first Nigerian state visit to the UK for 37 years, with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his wife Oluremi Tinubu to be given a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle.
At the start of the two-day visit, the leaders of the African nation with the biggest population – triple that of the UK – will be greeted by senior royals including Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The King and President Tinubu will then give speeches on Wednesday evening at the state banquet, which will be attended by political leaders and celebrities with links to Nigeria.
However, there will be no traditional lunch with the King at Windsor as the president is a Muslim and fasting for Ramadan.
State visits are a way of building relationships with international partners and the Nigeria visit will see a strengthening of business links, including financial services.
