The Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has, who earlier on
Saturday, departed Abuja for Taormina, Sicily in Italy for the ongoing
G7 Summit which began on Friday, May 26, was seen with the U.S President
Donald Trump.
According to a statement released earlier on Saturday morning by
the Special Assistant on Media to the Acting President, Laolu Akande,
the “Acting President, Osinbajo, invited to ongoing G7 summit in
Italy to represent Nigeria, leaves this morning and is expected back
later in the evening today.”
Members of the G7 made up of the leaders of the United States,
Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan – countries
collectively known as the Group of Seven (G7) – meet annually to discuss
issues affecting the world in general.


The summit kicked off with a ceremony at an ancient Greek theater
perched on a cliff overlooking the sea where war ships patrolled the
sparkling blue waters. Leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan and the United States said they would hold talks on
terrorism, Syria, North Korea and the global economy.
“No doubt, this will be the most challenging G7 summit in years,” Donald
Tusk, the former Polish prime minister who chairs summits of European
Union leaders, said before the meeting got underway.
The U. S. White House economic adviser, Gary Cohn predicted “robust” discussions on trade and
climate.
The summit is being held near Europe’s most active volcano, Mount Etna.
French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Paolo
Gentiloni and British Prime Minister Theresa May, also be attended the
elite club for the first time.
