A high-level Nigerian delegation, led by the Director-General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Joseph Tegbe, has arrived in China to deepen bilateral ties and bolster economic cooperation between the two nations.
In a statement released on Sunday, the visit was described as a significant step toward advancing the comprehensive strategic partnership between Nigeria and China, with the aim of building a high-level community with a shared vision for the future. Upon arrival, Tegbe and his team were warmly received by representatives of the Chinese business community and officials from the Nigerian embassy in China.
During the visit, Tegbe is expected to engage with senior Chinese government officials and participate in strategic meetings focused on securing agreements to drive Nigeria’s economic transformation. Discussions will center on enhancing agricultural productivity, expanding access to quality healthcare, harnessing renewable energy, promoting innovation in technology, improving educational institutions, and developing Nigeria’s mining sector to boost economic growth.
As the Director-General of the NCSP, Tegbe is spearheading initiatives to attract targeted Chinese investments in alignment with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda. The visit underscores the commitment of both nations to foster sustainable development, with Nigeria striving to become a net exporter to China within the next five years. This partnership is expected to play a crucial role in achieving the goals of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, exploring innovative pathways for mutual development with China as a key partner.
Tegbe’s visit is seen as a landmark effort to strengthen the strategic relationship between Nigeria and China, paving the way for long-term economic cooperation and shared prosperity.
