Fayose
Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose is in China to attract investment to the “Fountain of Knowledge.”
Fayose is in the city of Guangzhou where
he is billed to attend the 119th China Import and Export Fair,
otherwise known as the Canton Fair, holding from April 14 to 19.
A statement yesterday from the
Governor’s Office said the governor is in China as part of efforts to
boost agriculture and improve technological expertise of artisans in
Ekiti.
The trip to China is also aimed at
seeking partnership with prospective Chinese investors and technical
experts without committing the state to any loan.
Fayose is expected to hold talks with
prospective investors in mechanised farming, experts in skill
acquisition, particularly training in the area of perfect finishing in
building construction as well as experts in auto-repair modern
technologies.
The Canton Fair, which debuted in 1957,
is held biannually in Guangzhou every spring and autumn, attracts
various types of business activities, such as economic and technical
cooperations and exchanges.
The governor will also take advantage of
the Canton Fair to hold talks with technical experts on training and
technological exchange programmes for artisans in the state as part of
his plan to get technical support for the proposed artisan village to be
built in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
