Chief Nduese Essien, former Minister of Lands, Housing and Rural Development, on Monday commended President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the infrastructural partnership with China.
Essien gave the commendation in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, while lauding Buhari’s recent trip to China as a huge success.
He described the trip as timely, especially as regards the proposed Lagos-Calabar rail project.
“Though the project was initiated by former President Jonathan, its inclusion in the 2016 appropriation bill is a mark of patriotism and good intentions for the people of the South-South.
“It would have been disastrous if the Lagos-Calabar rail project was expunged from the 2016 proposed budget,” he said.
