Nyesom Wike, the FCT Minister, has sought collaboration with the Chinese government on agricultural and vocational training, with an emphasis on Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

When the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Yu Dunhai, paid him a visit in Abuja on Tuesday, March 18th, Wike asked for his help.

He explained that the FCT had very good land for the Chinese to invest in different kinds of agricultural production.

The minister also told the ambassador that FCT also needed to partner with the Chinese on vocational schools, leveraging ICT.

According to him, educating the youths with vocational and ICT skills is key for Nigeria to move forward.

He said, “These are the two very good areas that I want us to cooperate, partner and see what we can do together.

“It will really interest us more, if we can partner in these areas.”

Earlier, Dunhai, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, praised the quick improvement of Abuja’s infrastructure under Wike’s leadership.

He stated that China was progressing towards the National Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation through the Chinese means of modernity.
