May's central message during her visit will be focused on a renewed partnership between the UK and Africa, which will seek to maximise shared opportunities and tackle common challenges.

She's also expected to use her visit to announce further support to tackle instability across Africa. Nigeria has been dealing with the insurgency of terrorist group, Boko Haram, for nine years.

She'll discuss security, trade and people trafficking with President Buhari before visiting victims of modern slavery in Lagos.
