Buhari, who welcomed the Prince at the fore court of the presidential villa, introduced some members of his cabinet and presidential aides to the prince.
The President later went into closed door meeting with Prince Charles.
Prince Charles, 69, who is on a three-day visit, had visited Nigeria in 2006.
During this visit, he would engage in peace-building activities, including addressing the persistent attacks of herdsmen on farming communities in Nigeria.
He is also expected to discuss practical solutions to alleviating the tensions arising from the activities of herdsmen.
NAN also reports that the Benin monarch, Omo N’Oba Ewuare II, had, on Sunday, arrived in Abuja ahead of Prince Charles’ visit to Nigeria.
