According to him, the President’s recent trip to China and the profitable discussions he had there will go a long way to move Nigeria forward, including Lagos.
He also said that the investment pact signed with the Chinese Government will benefit the people of Lagos, especially with the coming of the Lagos-Kano Rail Project and the Lagos Metro-rail project expected to cost about $2.5billion.
