What started at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai is fast turning into real investment on Nigerian soil. The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) recently facilitated a high-level investment engagement between Nigerian stakeholders and Hai Run Group, one of China's largest concrete batching and construction materials companies.
Led on behalf of the Executive Secretary/CEO, Ms Aisha Rimi, by Mr Abubakar Yerima, Director of Strategic Services, the engagement went beyond boardroom talks, including site visits in Abuja, inspections of active mining locations, and direct discussions with local partners.
The outcomes included two quarry sites identified for potential acquisition, advanced plans for a concrete batching plant in Abuja, discussions on lithium mining and lithium battery manufacturing, and a proposed investment pipeline of USD 20 million.
Through strategic facilitation, investor matchmaking and regulatory support via the One Stop Investment Centre (OSIC), NIPC continues to turn meetings into milestones, opening up opportunities across Nigeria's solid minerals, infrastructure and renewable energy value chains.
