Amid controversies about the propriety of Chinese infrastructural loan finance to Africa, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Femi Falana, in an online encounter with Assistant Editor, BOLA OLAJUWON, says infrastructural projects being executed in Nigeria with $3.1 billion are tangible, verifiable and beneficial compared to the other $24 billion external loans owed by Nigeria. He, however, wants the Nigerian and Chinese governments to work on genuine technology transfer and African leaders to abide by their constitutional and statutory obligations when negotiating deals for mutual benefits at lower cost.
