GE Says Buhari Lied On $2.2b Investment. Figure Inflated From $150 M To $2.2 B by agabaI23(op): 2:57pm On Oct 04, 2016
Why did the maigaskya lie naa?
Was that just to justify the claim that foreign investors are falling over themselves to invest in Nigeria?

General Electric (GE) has put paid to claims by President Muhammadu Buhari that the company is investing $2.2billion in the country, rather it is investing $150million.
Chief Executive of General Electric, Mr. Jay Ireland in statement on Monday said: “There are development projects where we are investing, GE would also invest in oil and gas industry projects in Africa in coming years.”

Ireland said the Nigeria investment was part of a plan to spend $2 billion in Africa in coming years with $150 million earmarked for investment in Nigeria.

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Saturday in a speech marking Nigeria’s Independence Day, said GE was “investing $2.2 billion in a concession to revamp, provide rolling stock, and manage” some of the country’s railway lines.

“On railways, we have provided our counterpart funding to China for the building of our standard gauge Lagos -Kano railway.

“Meanwhile, General Electric is investing two point two billion USD in a concession to revamp, provide rolling stock, and manage the existing lines, including the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Line.”

GE’s investment destinations are Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana and Angola

No surprise that DullardPoo just told another LIE.
Since they have FAILED to deliver on their campaign promises, they are running a government on lies and fabricated FALSEHOODS.
A bunch of rotten baggage and destructive shit.

cheesy cheesy my brother, there's no way or need to spin this. Bubu danced with the 'facts' and was rightly called out. GE truly has investment plans of $2.2B for Africa but not for Nigeria alone.

You're free to crucify him grin

Prospecting for oil isn't a bad thing even if we are talking diversification. Sensible countries and oil companies build up reserves to take advantage of possible price hikes in future. As wells mature, production drops so getting more fields active is a wise thing to do. Whether there's justification for the expedition up north is another matter.

Our govts keep playing mumu politics with the solid minerals sector and lip service to the agric sector. I paid a visit to a massive private farm in Oyo state last month and was pleasantly surprised that some individuals have bought into the agricultural initiative wholeheartedly. Travelling through the state from one LGA to another, I saw new farms springing up However the farmers lamented that govt isn't encouraging them. Its really sad because the country would really benefit from the output these farms are capable of.
