As the weekend begins, we're taking a look back at key moments from last week’s state visit:
Nigeria’s return to Windsor Castle and the week of activities across the country celebrating the state visit after nearly four decades marked a clear reset in its engagement with the UK - direct, deliberate, and focused on results.
Across the engagements, one point stood out: progress depends on ex*****on. As our CEO, Dorothea Hodge CBE, said on Business Africa Online (BAO), commitments only matter when they lead to tangible outcomes.
Florence Eshalomi MP, the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Nigeria and Ghana, brought together business leaders for focused, practical discussion.
At the Park Plaza UK–Nigerian Business Reception, conversations moved beyond headlines into the details that shape real outcomes.
Mo Abudu of EbonyLife Group was also present at Windsor Castle, representing African storytelling at the highest level.
With over 200,000 Nigerians in the UK, the diaspora remains a vital link between both economies.
We were present. The focus now is delivery.
