After lambasting President
Muhammadu Buhari for trip to
China, Ekiti State Governor,
Ayo Fayose, has also travelled
to China to attend the country’s
119th Import and Export Fair,
also known as the Canton Fair.
The event, scheduled for April
14 and 19, will be staged in
Guangzhou.
Justifying the trip, the
governor’s media aide, Lere
Olayinka, said on Tuesday that
Mr. Fayose had before now
travelled out of the country
only twice since he assumed
office in October 2014, saying
his trip to China, which was
planned six months ago, would
be his third travel outside
Nigeria.
Mr. Olayinka argued that his
principal’s trip to China was
different from that of the
President because Mr. Buhari’s
trip was aimed at borrowing $2
billion, while the governor
would use his to secure
partnership with prospective
Chinese Investors and technical
experts without committing the
state to any loan.
He said the governor would
hold talks with prospective
investors on mechanised
farming, experts in skill
acquisition, particularly
training in the area of perfect
finishing in building
construction as well as experts
in auto-repairs and modern
technologies.
According to him, the Canton
Fair, held biannually in
Guangzhou every spring and
autumn, with a history of 59
years since 1957, attracts
various types of business
activities such as economic and technical
cooperation and exchanges.
Mr. Olayinka said apart from the scheduled
bilateral talks on agriculture, Governor
Fayose would also take advantage of the
Canton Fair to hold talks with technical
experts on training and technological
exchange programmes for artisans in the
State as part of his plan to get technical
support for the proposed Artisans Village to
be built in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
