May’s visit to Nigeria is part of
her tour of some African countries. She visited South Africa on Tuesday and is
expected to head to Kenya from Nigeria.
While in Nigeria, May and Buhari
will discuss the security challenges in the country, the economy, 2019
elections and will also sign defence and economic agreements.
After the meeting with Buhari,
May will proceed to Lagos, where she is expected to visit victims of modern
slavery.
The UK prime minister had
described Nigeria as home to the highest number of “very poor people” in the
world.
Speaking in Cape Town, South
Africa, May said: “Much of Nigeria is thriving, with many individuals enjoying
the fruits of a resurgent economy, yet 87 million Nigerians live below $1 and
90 cents a day, making it home to more very poor people than any other nation
in the world.”
