President Bola Tinubu has said Nigeria will remain committed to its ongoing reforms as it seeks stronger trade and investment ties with the United Kingdom.
Speaking after a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street on the second day of his state visit to the UK, Tinubu said both leaders held direct talks on the future of relations between their countries and the need to deliver practical benefits for citizens.
He said the discussions focused on trade, investment and broader cooperation, with attention on how both countries can respond to global changes while pursuing shared prosperity.
The President said Nigeria would not reverse the policy changes already underway, describing the reforms as difficult but necessary. According to him, the government remains determined to stay on course.
Tinubu also welcomed the £746 million agreement to modernise Apapa and Tin Can Island ports, describing it as a major step towards fixing critical infrastructure and improving the efficiency of trade.
He said the agreement, alongside other partnerships advanced during the visit, would help strengthen systems, support economic activity and drive growth in key sectors.
Tinubu added that Nigeria is ready to work with partners prepared to deliver concrete results, as the country positions itself to respond to a changing global environment.
