President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Abuja on Sunday for a working visit to China aimed at securing greater support from Beijing for the development of Nigeria’s infrastructure, especially in the power, roads, railways, aviation, water supply and housing sectors.

President Buhari’s talks with President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National Peoples’ Congress, Zhang Dejiang will also focus on strengthening bilateral cooperation in line with the Federal Government’s agenda for the rapid diversification of the Nigerian economy, with emphasis on agriculture and solid minerals development.

A statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said that several new agreements and memorandums of understanding to boost trade and economic relations between Nigeria and China will also be concluded and signed during the visit.
