Oluwo asked Jianchun to prioritise his domain, Iwo, in whatever investment and business ties China would have with Nigeria.
Akanbi made this call during his visit to the ambassador in Abuja.
He further called on the ambassador to work closely with the new government to ensure improved economic ties.
He said, “I urge the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Cui Jianchun, to work closely with the new government for an improved economic tie. The insecurity is being checked and decimated. Nigeria is now safer for business. In my domain, Iwo, and my state, Osun, is business-friendly. Your companies and investments are safe with maximum profit.”
The Oluwo also called on President Bola Tinubu to collaborate with the Chinese government to improve the country’s production and investment drive.
He noted that China’s strong production power enabled it to become the giant in the sector.
Akanbi said, “China is ahead. They started from somewhere. Today, they are the giant in the production sector. Their economic status is superlative. We should have a bilateral economic affinity with them.”
He further urged the government to consider getting loans to facilitate Nigeria’s infrastructural growth and development, stating that “to some extent, China can be trusted.”
