November 18, (THEWILL) – The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama says the Buhari regime is prudent with the loans it receives from China while looking for the best deal for the country.
Onyema said this on Thursday evening while briefing a joint session of the press at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, alongside the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken.
He said the market tussle between the US and Chinese interests in Nigeria only shows the attractiveness of the country to the developed world.
According to Onyeama, Nigeria maintains a robust relationship with both the United States and China and is working towards a win-win.
On the recently published Judicial Panel Report on EndSars in Lagos State, he said the Buhari regime is mindful of human rights issues, which is why it set up the panels in the first place.
Blinken is on a three-nation tour of Africa and had first visited Kenya where he called for African-driven solutions to the continent’s crises, including the spiralling war in Ethiopia.
