Hu´s visit to Nigeria

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) 27/04/2006

Chinese President Hu Jintao said yesterday his government will seek much closer ties with Africa a resource-rich frontier of opportunity for the world’s fastest growing economy after signing oil and other agreements with Nigeria and granting the West African giant an aid package.
Hu, on the second and final day of his visit to Nigeria, addressed the country’s parliament on China’s relations with Africa.
“Africa has rich resources and market potentials, whereas China has available effective practices and practical know-how it has gained in the course of modernisation,” Hu said.
China is seeking “a strategic partnership” with the continent that would improve living standards for Africa, he said. China’s interest and growing profile has worried Western rivals among them countries who may feel their colonial ties should give them an advantage for Africa’s resources and markets. And some Africans have complained about being flooded with cheap Chinese goods.
“China’s development will not pose a threat to anyone. On the contrary, it will bring more development opportunities to the world,” Hu told Nigeria’s parliament.
The world’s most populous country, with 1.3 billion people, has also set new development targets to increase its gross domestic product and lower energy consumption, the Chinese leader said. “By the year 2020 ,  GDP would quadruple that of 2000 to reach $4 trillion, averaging $3,000 per head,” Hu said.
China’s economy is growing so fast, its leaders have taken steps to avoid inflation or ballooning bad loans. Growth hit 10.2 per cent in the first quarter, and China is hungry for the energy, timber, minerals and other raw materials Africa can provide.
During the first day of the visit, Hu and his Nigerian counterpart Olusegun Obasanjo presided over the signing of a string of agreements covering cooperation in energy, telecommunications, infrastructure development and health.
One agreement requires Nigeria’s Petroleum Ministry to give China’s state oil firm preferential access to oil blocks in return for a Chinese undertaking to take over a loss-making refinery in the northern city of Kaduna.
Under other deals, Chinese firms will build a hydroelectric power station in the northeastern Mambilla plateau and a high-speed rail system linking the Nigerian capital Abuja with the economic capital, Lagos.
Two Chinese telecommunication firms, Huawei Technologies and ZTE, will execute large contracts for rural telephone service across Nigeria with the help of concessionary loans from the Chinese government worth more than $200 million (161 million euros).

Sorry Guys no Source, couldn't find it

What OBJ has done although unstisfactory is a lot compared to most of Nigeria's past leaders. Nigeria would have stable electricity now but OBJ chose a path to follow then started to be really serious on Power recently but it was a pick and choose issue. OBJ introduced a lot of things and i wouldn't mind if this project was political beacsue it's a good project and OBJ isn't  bad president (I know this post will be followed up with hate replys about OBJ but i don't care he's a good president by fact not by my opinion)

ObJ A Smart Fool i commend  him for his Abeokuta Brain well i hope you know it can  never be like that of Maradona  you all know this well  ,  he  has  done  little things to cover the  eyes  of nigerians  check out the  Moblie Phone Stuff  if not  for him as everyone will say  if he did it  right  we will pay 1 naira  per  minute when this people  came he  collect  so much money for linence  imagine MTN paying 285million USD for this   and tell me why they will not charge you so mcuh ,  if this  were  collect as  taxes  and later after this people came  if  so much were collected  as taxes why did the fuel price still go up well i am not  a great critic of his  adminstration but i like it when we shine our Eyes,
   Does  anyone knows  why Obj Farms is one of the  three most biggest  and nice farms in Africa  if you know  please tell me ,
 
  Who said this Dablaze Said this MOre to come

this is one year later and we have not see any sign of the high speed train

you think it takes one year to set-up? 

they just finished the survey, the contract is being reviewed, some former workers are looking to get paid off.

lets be watching, one day they wouldbe tired of the deceit them selve when they realise that other african countries have moved forward

some years back china was nothing, now china controls the worlds economy, simply because they changed foreign reserves to Euros the dollar is falling so fast.

can the Naira affect world policies? impossible
