It is the first trip by a Muslim leader during Ramadan in almost a century.
Organisers have had to modify the programme to accommodate these religious requirements, meaning the customary welcome lunch at the castle has been removed from proceedings.
Instead, the King will host President Tinubu for an afternoon meeting at Windsor Castle.
Following sunset, the Nigerian leader will break his fast privately before attending the evening's state banquet alongside the monarch and Queen Camilla.

The banquet will see the King's first speech since the arrest of his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
The visit will conclude on Thursday evening, which marks the beginning of Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic celebration signalling Ramadan's end.
Nigeria's Government spokesman, Mohammed Idris, said: "This state visit is about turning a historic relationship into a modern economic partnership - transforming trust into opportunity.
"Nigeria's economic reforms are unlocking the potential of Africa's largest consumer market. The United Kingdom is a natural partner in what comes next.
"This visit marks the next step in deepening co-operation across trade, finance and defence."
