President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, said no nation would witness sustainable development without infrastructure development.

The Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, quoted the President as stating this at State House, Abuja, while receiving in audience the State Councillor and Foreign Minister, People’s Republic of China, Mr. Wang Yi.

“We thank China for its support to us in various ways; in building of rail, road, power, defence, and many others. You are helping us to reduce our severe infrastructural deficits, and we are glad. There cannot be sustainable development without infrastructural development,” President Buhari was quoted as saying.

Femi Adesina also said Yi applauded what he called the “mutual trust and sound personal friendship” between President Buhari and President Xi Jinping of China, noting that “it has guided the bilateral relationship between our two countries.”
