Governor Ambode who made this known when he paid a courtesy visit to the State House, Abuja, was received by President Buhari.
The Lagos chief executive who lauded the President for ‘his purposeful leadership to restore the nation’s place in the comity of nations’, told State House Correspondents that the president’s recent trip to China and the profitable discussions will go a long way move Nigeria forward, including Lagos.
He said 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.
President Buhari recently returned from a one week visit to China where Nigeria signed series of investment pact expected to yield about $6 billion investment for Nigeria and also expected to have positively huge impact on key sectors of the Nigerian economy including power, solid minerals, agriculture, housing and rail transportation.
He said the visit was therefore to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for his laudable plans for Nigeria and especially Lagos State, stressing that the visit to China would help such projects like the state’s mono-rail project presently handled by a Chinese construction firm.
