President Buhari will leave for South Africa
tomorrow December 3rd to participate in the
Forum on China/Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).
A statement issued by the Special Assistant to
the President on Media and Publicity, Garba
Shehu, says that during the forum Buhari will
have a meeting with Chinese president, Xi
Jinping, on how to re-commence stalled rail
projects under new terms that would see
China providing nearly all the financing
required.
The statement in part reads
"Of particular interest is the coastal
railway project stretching for 1,402
kilometres linking Lagos in the west with
Calabar in the South; a project that is
expected to be financed with $12 billion
Chinese loan and which will create about
200,000 jobs. Another rail project that
will be up for renegotiation is the $8.3bn
Lagos-Kano standard gauge
modernisation project, of which only a
segment, Kaduna-Abuja, had reached
completion stage. President Buhari is
also expected to discuss ways of
removing all obstacles in the way of the
3,050 MW Mambila Power Station,
considered a strategic project which was
conceived in 1982 but has not taken off.
The Chinese president had informed
President Buhari of the willingness of his
country to finance the whole project
through a special loan agreement," the
statement said.
Those to accompany him on the trip are
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema;
Minister of Transportation, Chubuike Amaechi;
and the Minister of Industry, Trade and
Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah. They are
expected back to the country on Saturday
December 5th.

Again?

Na so we see am o

As long as it will bring better things to Nigeria,am okay with it. For those criticising PMB about travelling around,"its only incompetent and a lazy father that stay at home when things are not right and won't go outside to look for solutions.

GOD bless Nigeria.

Is it mandatory that he must travel when there are important things to do at home? Can't he send a representative to South Africa?, I am sure this is not how other presidents jump from one country to another.Our president has really turn to Ajala.
