The couple landed in Abuja on Friday morning, and began their visit with a tour of Lightway Academy, a primary and secondary school in the capital city.
They were greeted by traditional dancers and met some of the primary schoolchildren.
One group of year five pupils told the BBC they were really excited about the visit, saying they hope it will raise their school’s profile.
During their tour the couple visited a kindergarten class where children aged up to five danced and sang – at one point, the visitors got to their feet and joined the class in singing Jump Up, Turn Around.
The couple mentioned their own family: Archie, who turned five earlier this month, and two-year-old Lilibet.
Meghan said that dancing was Lilibet’s favourite class, adding: “Maybe it’s all the jumping around.”
During a visit to a STEM class, when pupils showed the robot cars they had created, the duchess said that Archie also liked construction.
When told by the class that they would be showing the robot cars in class one day, Meghan said: “We will have to come back for the exhibition.”
