May is also expected to visit Lagos before she departs for Kenya on her first tour of Africa as UK PM.

The two leaders proceeded to a meeting behind closed doors at the Presidential Villa after May arrived in a gray vehicle marked 138 CMD around 1 pm.

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