His Imperial Majesty Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo, has urged for close connections between the federal government and the Chinese government in order to spur investment and production.
This call was made by the supreme monarch of Iwoland at a recent encounter with Cui Jianchun, the Chinese ambassador to Nigeria, in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
According to the Osun monarch, China’s output has put it ahead of the majority of industrialised nations, a feature that has abolished poverty there, and Nigeria must imitate this.
Oluwo also persuaded the ambassador to emphasise Iwo and Osun State in their investment drive, pointing out the importance of the areas’ secure environment and business-friendly climate.
Oba Akanbi praised China’s productive capacity and urged President Tinubu to collaborate with the Chinese government in an investment drive.
He claimed that because China can be trusted to some level, the government should also take into account loans from China for Nigeria’s infrastructure growth and development.
“China is one of the major productive power blocs, considerably boosting global economic growth. They have created for themselves an enviable economic viability and vibrancy, Oluwo remarked.
“I’m urging President Ahmed Tinubu’s Federal Government to work with China and Chinese investors to boost our economy through production. It is essential to have sound business policies that will attract investors. We need to advance by working together with wealthy nations whose top priority is production rather than consumption.
“China is in front. They had to start somewhere. They currently dominate the production industry. Their financial situation is excellent. We should have a bilateral economic affinity with them.
“I implore Cui Jianchun, the Chinese ambassador to Nigeria, to closely collaborate with the next administration in order to strengthen our economic ties. Insecurities are being inspected and wiped out. Business in Nigeria is now safer. Business is pleasant in my state, Osun, and in my domain, Iwo. The royal father said, “Your businesses and investments are secure with maximum profit.
The Chairman of China Harbour Engineering Company (Nig) Limited, Mr. Martin Chen, and the Managing Directors of CCECC Nigeria Ltd., David Wang and Zhong Xiang, were also present at the meeting.
