China Announces Plan to Establish Electric Vehicle Factories in Nigeria
- During a recent meeting in Abuja between Ambassador Yu Dunhai and Minister Dele Alake, China announced intentions to set up facilities for producing electric vehicles along with other industrial projects within Nigeria.
- This initiative builds on discussions held during President Tinubu's 2025 state visit to China, where both countries' leaders committed to strengthening their relationship by establishing a comprehensive strategic partnership focused on enhancing industrial collaboration.
- Ambassador Dunhai supported Nigeria's local value-addition policy and urged deeper China-Nigeria collaboration to unlock Nigeria's abundant solid minerals, including lithium, fostering manufacturing from extraction to processing within Nigeria.
- The Chinese government expressed zero tolerance for illegal mining, committing to partner with Nigerian authorities to prosecute offenders, while most Chinese companies operate legally and contribute to sector growth.
- This collaboration has the potential to support Nigeria’s efforts to diversify its economy and boost industrial growth, decrease its reliance on traditional energy sources by expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, and enhance mutual cooperation in the mining and renewable energy industries.
