Fresh release: See exactly what happened when Buhari was received in China (video)
A new video has been released, showing exactly how President Muhammdu Buhari was received in China.
President Buhari welcomed affectionately by a young girl who hugged him in China.
It would be recalled that President Buhari recently visited China for a very important state visit aimed at re-positioning Nigeria, strengthening its relationship with the most populous nation in the world, for great economic benefits.
Below is the rare footage that shows how Buhari was treated as royalty while in China.
The president was in China for about a week, to strengthen bilateral and economic relation between the two countries and according to the president, Nigeria stands to gain a lot from the China trip.
His China visit Buhari says would have a positively huge impact on key sectors of the Nigerian economy including power, solid minerals, agriculture, housing and rail transportation.
“In the power sector, North South Power Company Limited and Sinohydro Corporation Limited signed an agreement valued at $478,657,941.28 for the construction of 300 Mega Watts solar power in Shiroro, Niger State.
“In the solid minerals sector, Granite and Marble Nigeria Limited and Shanghai Shibang signed an agreement valued at $55m for the construction and equipping of granite mining plant in Nigeria.
“A total of $1bn is to be invested in the development of a greenfield expressway for Abuja-Ibadan-Lagos under an agreement reached by the Infrastructure Bank and Sinohydro Corporation Limited.
“For the housing sector, both companies also sealed a $250m deal to develop an ultra modern 27-storey high rise complex and a $2.5bn agreement for the development of the Lagos Metro Rail Transit Red Line project,” he informed.
Meanwhile, China will soon begin to import goods from Nigeria, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) governor Godwin Emefiele has said. It is expected that the move will help narrow the very wide trade gap between the two countries.
Emefiele said the federal government is talking with China so it would also be importing some of its own items from Nigeria. Speaking at a press conference at the World Bank headquarters in Washington on the last day of the 2016 World Bank/IMF spring meeting, he also said part of Nigeria’s deal with China is that the country will become the Asian country’s trading hub in West Africa.
