President Muhammadu Buhari will today (Sunday) travel to Germany for the G7 summit scheduled to take place in Bavaria from June 7 to 8, 2015.

Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the president, Garba Shehu said invitation to the summit was extended to Buhari by German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, before he was inaugurated as President on May 29.

He however explained that Buhari would not be participating in the main meetings, since Nigeria is not a member of the G7 group.

He added, “He (Buhari) is in a group of seven other Heads of State who were called in as guests.

“He will equally be holding key side meetings with some of the seven Heads of State who will be convened at the summit.
