Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has applauded the strategic partnership between India and Nigeria, saying it has the capacity to advance infrastructure development in the State.
Sani made the commendation at the 75th anniversary of India’s independence.
This was while interacting with the journalists organised by the Indian mission in Abuja.
Governor Sani stated: “India has been one of the strategic partners of Nigeria for decades, and particularly under the current leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
“We have also repositioned Nigeria to be a leading nation in Africa and we have had a series of engagements with India, particularly during the last G20 summit held in India.
“Many business agreements have been between the Indian government and Nigeria and in Kaduna State I can clearly admit that we are doing a lot with India.
“The EXIM Bank group is supporting us in the area of renewable energy and healthcare, as well as other important areas that have to do with solar power in our primary healthcare centres”.
