Nasarawa State Governor, His Excellency, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to attracting strategic investments that drive industrialization and sustainable economic growth, following his attendance at the grand opening of the Jinlide•Qiangyu New Energy Plant in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province.

Governor Sule, who attended the ceremony on Tuesday alongside Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, described the commissioning of the ultra-modern facility as another milestone in the growing partnership between Chinese investors and Nigerian states endowed with critical solid minerals.

In his remarks, the Governor commended the management of Jinlide•Qiangyu New Energy for its confidence in Nigeria and for its role in advancing the global clean energy value chain.

“Nasarawa State remains focused on creating an enabling environment for credible investors through transparent policies, infrastructure development and responsible mining practices,” Governor Sule said.

He stated that his administration would continue to encourage investments that add value to the state’s mineral resources, create employment opportunities, facilitate technology transfer, and stimulate inclusive economic development.

The Governor further disclosed that he looks forward to signing more Memoranda of Understanding with Chinese companies aimed at deepening existing partnerships and expanding investment opportunities in the mining and industrial sectors.

As part of the event, Governor Sule and members of his delegation were conducted on an extensive tour of the state-of-the-art production facility. They observed the company’s advanced manufacturing processes, modern technologies, and stringent quality control systems.

Expressing satisfaction with the scale of innovation at the plant, Governor Sule stressed the importance of replicating such value-addition initiatives in Nasarawa State to ensure that the state’s mineral wealth translates into jobs and industrial growth for citizens.

The management of Jinlide•Qiangyu New Energy also presented a special plaque of honour to Governor Sule in recognition of his leadership and commitment to investment promotion.

The visit forms part of the Governor’s strategic investment drive to strengthen international partnerships and consolidate Nasarawa State’s position as Nigeria’s leading destination for responsible mining, mineral beneficiation, and industrial development.
