During the visit, Obama will discuss “a holistic, regional approach to combating Boko Haram” with President Buhari, who has led Africa’s biggest economy and most populous country since being elected in March.
During the visit, advancing economic and political reforms in Nigeria will also be discussed between senior government advisers from both countries, the White House said.
According to punch, Obama and other leaders met with Buhari at the G7 Summit earlier this month where they discussed efforts at combating Islamist militants.
US officials have also said the US could send more advisers to Nigeria to train its military and it could help boost the nation’s economy through more investment in its oil and gas sector.
Meanwhile, President Buhari on Thursday insisted that regional and international cooperation was needed to ensure victory over terrorism in Nigeria and other countries.
