The Minister of Works Dave Umahi has said Nigeria expects an enhanced technology transfer from China. He said this when the Chinese Ambassador Yu Dunhai paid him a courtesy visit.
The former Ebonyi State governor also asked for fast facilitation of naira swap between both countries. A statement by the ministry yesterday said Umahi Nigeria expected increased investments and enhanced technology transfer from the Chinese government “beyond what is currently available”.
It said: “Umahi highlighted the various road and infrastructure projects being executed by Chinese firms such as CCECC, CHEC, CBC, CGC, and a host of others.”
The minister said China has every reason to support the Nigeria in promoting economic growth, particularly in terms of infrastructure development.
Umahi commended China for its world-class infrastructure development and requested the transfer of such advanced technologies, along with specialised training for Nigerian engineers in China.
