Nigeria is set to localise the production of cutting-edge technologies, thanks to a partnership with Sinoma International Engineering Company in a significant step towards achieving self-sufficiency in renewable energy.
This was the thrust of a substantive discussion between Nigeria and the Executive Management of Sinoma International Engineering Company at their Beijing Headquarters yesterday.
The discussions, led by the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action (SPEC), Ajuri Ngelale, highlighted the importance of localising production to reduce reliance on imports and promote economic growth.
The meeting, attended by Sinoma’s Board Chairman, Mr. Yin Zhisong, and President, Mr. Zhu Bing, covered various areas of mutual interest, including decarbonisation of mining practices, ecological support, and restoration.
In a brief to journalists at the State House in Abuja, Ngelale hailed Sinoma’s expertise in decarbonisation of mining practices, ecological support, and restoration, as well as automation of manufacturing processes for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), wind blades, and other technologies.
He said: “Before boarding a flight to Fuzhou, Fujian Province in China, on Tuesday, I held substantive discussions with the Executive Management of Sinoma International Engineering Company at their Beijing Headquarters in the presence of the Board Chairman, Mr. Yin Zhisong, and the Company’s President, Mr. Zhu Bing.
