Some of the issues expected to be discussed are security, cooperation on global health security, expanding energy access and revitalizing democracy.
After the meeting with Buhari, Blinken will have a discussion with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and both will sign some agreements between Nigeria and the US.
He will thereafter hold a joint press conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, before departing Aso Rock.
Bliken is on a three-nation tour of Africa and had first visited Kenya where he met with President Uhuru Kenyatta and other government officials.
The Secretary of State is the highest-ranking US official to visit sub-Saharan Africa since President Joe Biden came into power in January.
