During a press conference after the meeting with the 73-year-old king, Buhari said the king asked him if he had a personal house in the UK to which he responded in the negative.

Buhari said the reason for his visit was to discuss the diplomatic and trade relationship between the two countries.

He said that the meeting was hitherto scheduled to take place in Kigali before Charles became king.

This is the first meeting between President Buhari and the king since his ascension to the throne.

Buhari used the opportunity to congratulate the king on his ascension to the throne.

The president had on Wednesday visited the British monarch at Buckingham Palace.

The presidency also shared pictures of the monarch shaking hands with Buhari.
