President Muhammadu Buhari has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to stabilise the country’s democratic system.
President Buhari said this on Thursday in Seoul, South Korea, during his meeting with the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, Mr. Kim Jin-Pyo, on the sidelines of the World Bio Summit 2022.
The President declared that the successes achieved in the recent off-season elections in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun States, confirmed that the people of Nigeria have approved of the democratic form of government.
He described the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the NNPC Ltd and Daewoo Group for the rehabilitation of the Kaduna Refinery which took place shortly before the President visited the Parliament, as very significant, noting that technology transfer is not easy.
He also expressed appreciation to the Korean government for its generosity in the rehabilitation of both Kaduna and Warri refineries and further commended the resourcefulness of the Korean shipping industry, and thanked the host government’s assistance towards the rehabilitation of Nigeria’s infrastructure, describing it as crucial.
Earlier in his welcome remarks, the Speaker thanked President Buhari for his first visit to the Korean Parliament and commiserated with Nigeria over the havoc caused by floods.
