Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to attracting strategic investments to drive industrialisation, job creation and sustainable economic growth in the state.
Sule made the remarks on Tuesday while attending the commissioning of the Jinlide•Qiangyu New Energy Plant in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, China.The governor, who attended the event alongside Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal, described the facility as a milestone in the growing partnership between Chinese investors and Nigerian states with significant solid mineral resources.
Speaking at the ceremony, Sule commended the company’s management for investing in Nigeria and contributing to the global clean energy value chain. He said Nasarawa State remains committed to providing an enabling environment for investors through transparent policies, infrastructure development and responsible mining practices.
According to the governor, the state is focused on promoting value addition and industrial processing of its mineral resources rather than relying on the export of raw materials. Sule also expressed optimism about expanding partnerships with Chinese companies, particularly in the mining and industrial sectors, adding that the state hopes to sign additional memoranda of understanding to strengthen investment cooperation.
During the visit, the governor and his delegation toured the production facility to observe its manufacturing processes, technology and quality control systems. He later received a commemorative plaque from the company’s management in recognition of the visit.
