Nigeria's president elect was trained in India



Muhammadu Buhari, a retired major general, won the presidential elections in Nigeria after defeating the sitting president Goodluck Jonathan. This is for the first time an opposition leader won a presidential poll in Nigeria. 

Buhari had attended the Defence Services Staff College at Wellington in 1973. He earlier ruled Nigeria from 1983 to 1985, after taking power in a military coup.

Sources in New Delhi said that Buhari, who is set to resume office in May, would attend the India-Africa Summit scheduled to take place here in October.
