President Buhari Will Sign A Budget That Is On Tthe Side Of The People - Femi Adesina

Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, was on Radio Continental recently. Here are excerpts from the interview:

Let us talk about the China trip. What took you over there and what happened there?

As you know, China has a surfeit of infrastructure, while Nigeria has infrastructure deficit. What took us out there was how we could benefit from this surfeit that China has in terms of infrastructure, particularly rail, housing, agric, solid minerals, all the sectors in which Nigeria needs improvement. How can China be of benefit to us was what took the President and his delegation out there. And I must say that it was a splendid visit, a visit that inspired every member of the delegation. And you know when you get inspired, you then begin to aspire. We saw so many wonderful things in China and we began to ask ourselves; when will our country get there? But then we aspire to also get there. God is great, I know we will get there.

Change will come, It is a process, and not magic - Femi Adesina

Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser on Media & Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari was on Channels Television recently with Seun Okinbaloye , where he answered questions on the China trip of his principal.

Excerpts:
Q: How was the China trip Mr Adesina and what are the benefits for Nigeria?

A: It was a splendid trip. Very successful. Once again, Nigeria can be proud of its leadership, can be proud of its President because wherever our President turns up, he has tremendous respect and by extension, the country.

Q: Nigerians will want to know what we were able to get from China. We understand the Presidency has come out to say it is not about loans and getting money from China, that it is going to be a mutually benefitting relationship.
