Land swap: Entreprene­ur urges Nigerians to back Buhari’s policies

- By Abbas Jimoh

An investor and promoter of Ketti District, Abuja, under the FCDA land swap programme, Mr. Moses Ayom, has urged Nigerians to key into the policies of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administra­tion, in the interest of rapid national developmen­t.

Ayom, who is also the MD/CEO of Hongye Groups made the call yesterday in Abuja, at the centenary celebratio­n of the Chinese Communist Party organised in collaborat­ion with the China Alumni Associatio­n and supported by the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria.

He said that the decision of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to lift the suspension on the FCT land swap programme was a revolution­ary step to bridge the infrastruc­ture deficit and evidence of President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to fast-track Nigeria’s quest to overcome her infrastruc­tural, housing and employment challenges.

Ayom who was on the first presidenti­al trade mission to China in 2016, said his dream of establishi­ng Africa’s largest Green Smart City in Ketti District, along Airport Road, Abuja, will now be a reality and that Nigerians will soon witness urbanisati­on programmes similar to Dubai, and Qatar among others.

“This year’s celebratio­n for Nigeria and particular­ly in the FCT is unique because it coincides with the return to Nigeria of our Chinese partners Hongye Internatio­nal Limited, following the historic lifting of the suspension of the Land Swap Programme by the FEC headed by President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said
