The Director-General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Mr. Joseph Tegbe, has embarked on a high-level working visit to the People’s Republic of China aimed at attracting strategic development projects and enhancing industrial cooperation with key Chinese partners.
According to a statement from the NCSP, Mr. Tegbe held a productive meeting with SYS Company, a leading firm specializing in water engineering and environmental solutions, particularly in wastewater recycling and renewable energy generation.
“Discussions centered on the potential deployment of SYS’s innovative technologies in Nigeria, specifically in converting wastewater into reusable resources and power. This initiative aligns with Nigeria’s commitment to environmental sustainability and the development of a circular economy that supports energy diversification,” the statement noted.
In addition, Mr. Tegbe met with the leadership of Jingye Steel, one of China’s foremost private steel manufacturers with a significant global presence.
“The engagement explored the possibility of establishing integrated steel mills in Nigeria—a vital step toward strengthening local capacity for steel production and supporting critical sectors such as infrastructure, automotive manufacturing, and construction,” the statement added.
Earlier in the visit, the Director-General held a follow-up meeting with executives from CSSC Haishen, advancing discussions from a prior agreement between the Chinese firm and CPL Ltd, a leading Nigerian medical and pharmaceutical equipment company.
“The meeting focused on securing competitive pricing for medical equipment, enhancing knowledge transfer and operational support, and identifying financing solutions to ensure the long-term sustainability of the healthcare modernization initiative,” the statement said.
These strategic engagements, according to the statement, are part of NCSP’s broader mission to build transformative partnerships that leverage China’s technological expertise while addressing Nigeria’s development priorities.
