Sustainable development impossible without adequate infrastructure – Buhari

The president said Nigeria would continue to honour its obligations in the relationship with the People’s Republic of China, “as you are making a big difference, which we appreciate very much.”

Wang Yi lauded what he called the “mutual trust and sound personal friendship” between President Buhari and President Xi Jinping of China, saying “it has guided the bilateral relationship between our two countries.”
