Nigeria, China partnership key to industrialisation- NCSP
By Angela Atabo
The Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening bilateral collaboration between Nigeria and China as part of efforts to drive Nigeria’s industrialisation and economic growth.
NCSP Director-General Joseph Tegbe made this known in a statement issued in Abuja after a media interactive session.
He underscored NCSP’s role as a critical enabler, fostering productive partnerships between Nigerian stakeholders and Chinese business leaders.
Tegbe also highlighted the NCSP’s ongoing commitment to coordinating investments, facilitating stakeholder engagements, and ensuring due diligence to guarantee that Nigeria and China collaborations yield tangible, long-term benefits.
He reiterated NCSP’s mandate to steer the implementation of projects under the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, while also pursuing additional partnerships beyond the formal agreements.
“Our focus is to ensure that Nigeria not only implements Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) — a platform for strengthening political and economic ties between China and African nations established in 2000.
“We are paving the way for Nigerian products to gain access to Chinese and broader Asian markets while accelerating the execution of strategic, game-changing national development projects later this year.
“Following the elevation of Nigeria-China relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership and the establishment of the NCSP, Nigeria has recorded significant milestones in key sectors,” he said.
According to Tegbe, recent engagements have secured more than 20 billion dollars in investment commitments, focusing on critical sectors such as agriculture, automotive manufacturing, mining, steel production, and energy.
He said these investments were set to boost food security, create jobs, and drive a new wave of industrial development in the country.
He also said that the NCSP’s activities aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at fast-tracking national development and positioning Nigeria as Africa’s industrial powerhouse.
He said his desire is to continue to bridge policy and execution by coordinating efforts across government agencies, the private sector, and diplomatic entities.
This, Tegbe said, was to ensure Nigeria maximises its trade and investment relations with China for sustainable economic advancement.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
