Buhari’s visit to China
“Let me thank you, Mr Khan, for leading a
delegation to pay us a visit. They, along with
other Chinese companies, have set up various
factories in Edo state,” Governor Oshiomhole
said.
“I have visited their factories and I am very
impressed by what I saw, the quality of
products they are producing, ceramic tiles and
iron rods which we badly need for our
construction industry.
“They shared with me their plans to further
expand their operations. I have discussed with
them about the possibility of establishing new
investments in Edo state because we have so
much natural resources besides oil and gas
which we have in sufficient quantity.
Governor Oshiomhole said Edo state can
offer Chinese investors and business huge
opportunity thanks to its gas deposits, which
will ensure the state continues to play a
major role in Nigeria’s economy.
“Under the power arrangement, I also know
that this state is meant to be one of the major
hubs for power supply and distribution.
Recently, a private company, Azura Power
Plant, has commenced the process of laying
about 450 megawatts of power which will be
completed in the next one or two years, and
the construction is still on,” the governor
said.
“There are other power plants that are already
in existence. And so, in the very near future,
we will have enough power supply coming
from Edo State. I know that from my
conversation with some Chinese companies
here, they told me that with power, they have
so much more they can do.”
