“You have the financial firepower and the willingness to support Nigeria and other African countries without interfering in our local politics. This we appreciate a lot.”
He assured the corporation that Tinubu’s administration will sustain the existing relationship with the company and the people of China, saying the Abuja rail project, like others, remains dear to the President and Nigerians.
