Saint Lucia Confers Honorary Knighthood on President Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been conferred with the honorary title of Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Lucia (KCOSL) during his official state visit to the Caribbean nation.

The honour was approved by the Governor General of Saint Lucia on the advice of Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre, according to a statement released by the Office of the Prime Minister.

“The Government of Saint Lucia is pleased to announce that, acting on the advice of the Prime Minister, the Governor General has conferred the title of Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Lucia (KCOSL) upon His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the statement read.

 

Following the formal investiture, Tinubu will be officially styled: H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, KCOSL (Hon.), President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

The Nigerian President arrived in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, on Saturday, marking the first leg of his two-nation tour of the Caribbean and South America. During the visit, he paid courtesy calls to Prime Minister Pierre and Governor General Cyril Errol Melchiades Charles.

 

One of the highlights of the trip was President Tinubu’s address to a special joint session of Saint Lucia’s Senate and House of Assembly at the William Jefferson Clinton Ballroom in Gros Islet. In his speech, he announced the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Saint Lucia, describing it as a “symbolic bridge” to strengthen bilateral ties.

Tinubu also proposed the creation of a Joint Commission or Political Consultation Agreement to enhance cooperation between Nigeria and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
