President Bola Tinubu on Thursday received the Prime Minister of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, Dr Terrance Drew, at his residence at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja. Following that March 2025 meeting, President Tinubu visited St. Lucia in late June 2025, where he held talks with CARICOM leaders, marking the first such engagement between a Nigerian President and the Caribbean Community. Tinubu had described the engagement as a significant opportunity for Africa to expand its global connections and strengthen bilateral relations. Nigeria and Saint Kitts and Nevis maintain diplomatic relations as members of the Commonwealth of Nations, the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States. Bilateral trade between Nigeria and Saint Kitts and Nevis is currently valued at less than $500,000 annually, according to UN COMTRADE data.
