First Lady Oluremi Tinubu will preach at Lambeth Palace in London during President Bola Tinubu’s historic UK state visit
The Nigerian First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is set to preach at Lambeth Palace in London on Thursday as part of activities marking President Bola Tinubu’s state visit to the United Kingdom.
Lambeth Palace, the official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, is a central site for the Church of England.
The First Lady will also meet with representatives of the Church of England during the visit, according to the official itinerary published by AFP.
The state visit, Nigeria’s first to the UK in nearly four decades, aims to strengthen bilateral relations between both countries. President Tinubu and Mrs Tinubu arrived in London on Tuesday, landing at Stansted Airport ahead of formal engagements.
The visit programme includes meetings with King Charles III and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, alongside civic events with the Nigerian diaspora in the United Kingdom.
Mrs Tinubu, a devout Christian and ordained pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has been actively involved in faith‑based initiatives and women’s empowerment programmes in Nigeria in recent years.
