This was announced in a statement by Umahi’s Special Adviser, Barrister Orji Uchenna Orji, on Friday in Abuja.
The talks followed a meeting between Minister Umahi and a team of investors from the Netherlands led by Nigerian Ambassador Oluremi Oliyide.
Umahi assured the team of the federal government’s positive stance on accessing international donor funds to address infrastructure deficits hampering Nigeria’s development.
He stated “We have a number of projects that we can do together. But I think the best thing to do is to conclude this one, which is a grant, then get the process started, and at the point of agreement and project selection, we shall refer to Mr. President for his approval.”
Ambassador Oliyide explained the team was discussing an offer of a 25 million euro grant by Janson Bridging International for investing in Nigerian road infrastructure.
