Nigeria’s Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, Ajuri Ngelale, has dug into the country’s quest for clean energy transition, as he discussed with industry expert, Simona of China, on how its decarbonisation and mining practices can be localised for Nigeria’s benefit.
Sharing highlights of his activities in China with journalists, Ngelale hailed Simona’s efforts as “awe-inspiring and a testament to what innovative, dogged and determined leadership can yield”.
His words: “Before boarding a flight to Fuzhou, Fujian Province in China, on Tuesday, I held substantive discussions with the Executive Management of Sinoma International Engineering Company at their Beijing Headquarters in the presence of the Board Chairman, Mr. Yin Zhisong, and the Company’s President, Mr. Zhu Bing.*
“We covered a wide range of important areas of mutual interest, going into significant depth on each of the agenda items.
“The expertise Sinoma has developed in the decarbonization of mining practices with full ecological support & restoration, as well as the cross-cutting automation of several manufacturing processes for CCUS, wind blades, and other very important technologies — the production of which Nigeria is now moving swiftly to localize (assembly to end-to-end) — is awe-inspiring and a testament to what innovative, dogged and determined leadership can yield.
“A very productive and consequential engagement today with more to follow in the days ahead.”
