Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi

trips, aimed at attracting foreign direct investments into the country.
Ambode, who spoke to State House
correspondents shortly after the visit, expressed high optimism that the
President’s trips would soon begin to yield benefits for all Nigerians.
The governor also commended President
Buhari for his purposeful leadership to restore Nigeria’s place in the
comity of nations, saying his recent trip to China and the profitable
discussions would go a long way in moving Nigeria forward, including
Lagos.
