 Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) on Thursday led a delegation of Chinese investors on a crucial engagement with the Nigeria China Strategic Partnerships (NCSP) in Abuja.
The strategic meeting followed their participation in the just concluded high-level Infrastructure Conference (INFRACON 1.0) organised by NACCIMA to mobilise private capital and international investments in bridging Nigeria’s infrastructure deficits.

Consul-General of Nigeria in Guangzhou, Amb. Mairo Musa Abbas, who led the delegation to Nigeria, said the Consulate is working with NACCIMA and other key government organisations and stakeholders to facilitate investment opportunities that bring sustainable growth, improved industrialisation, job opportunities and technology transfer to Nigeria.
The Chinese investors expressed their readiness to invest in critical sectors, particularly energy, agribusiness, and the automobile industry.
NCSP commended the Chinese investors for their keen interest in Nigeria, pledging their support and cooperation to make the various processes that will lead to their investments and partnerships with Nigeria a lot seamless.
NACCIMA National Vice President, Hon. Ahmed Rabiu, represented the National President at the strategic meeting. Other NACCIMA executives at the meeting include the National Public Relations Officer, Alhaja Madinat Adigun-Oladotun; Special Adviser to the National President, Mr. Sulaiman Adoga; and NACCIMA China Relations Executive, Arc. Zakirudeen Oladotun.

The engagement marks another significant step in NACCIMA’s drive to position Nigeria as a preferred destination for credible foreign investment, while strengthening the strategic economic bridge between Nigeria and China.
With renewed investor confidence, institutional backing, and a shared commitment to sustainable development, the partnership is expected to unlock new opportunities that will boost industrial growth, expand trade, and deliver long-term economic benefits for both nations.
