Nigeria is poised to localize the production of advanced technologies through a new partnership with Sinoma International Engineering Company, marking a major step to
ward self-sufficiency in renewable energy.
This key development was the focus of discussions between Nigerian representatives and the executive management of Sinoma International at their Beijing headquarters on Tuesday.
Led by Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action (SPEC), the talks emphasized the benefits of localizing production to reduce import dependence and spur economic growth.
The meeting, attended by Sinoma’s Board Chairman, Mr. Yin Zhisong, and President, Mr. Zhu Bing, addressed mutual interests including the decarbonization of mining practices, ecological support, and restoration.
In a statement from the State House in Abuja, Ngelale praised Sinoma's expertise in areas such as decarbonizing mining practices, ecological support and restoration, and automating manufacturing processes for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), as well as wind blade production and other technologies.
He remarked on the impressive nature of Sinoma’s achievements and their potential impact on Nigeria’s technological advancement.
“Before departing for Fuzhou, Fujian Province, I had substantial discussions with Sinoma’s executive management in Beijing, covering a wide range of mutual interests.
Sinoma’s expertise in decarbonizing mining practices and their work on CCUS, wind blades, and other critical technologies are impressive.
Nigeria is now moving swiftly to localize the production of these technologies from assembly to end-to-end,” Ngelale stated.
This partnership is expected to significantly boost Nigeria’s renewable energy sector, create jobs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the nation’s climate action goals.
