Nigeria anticipates an economic revolution in mining and automobiles.

The Director-General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership, Mr. Joseph Tegbe, met with the Minister of State for Industry, Trade, and Investment, Senator John Enoh, to align on priorities aimed at repositioning the nation’s economy through the mining and automotive sectors.

The meeting, which was held in Abuja, explored actionable strategies to unlock the full industrial potential of both sectors within the framework of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, with an overarching goal to shift Nigeria from an import-dependent economy to a production and export-led industrial powerhouse.

While receiving the DG, Enoh reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to three priority sectors, including sugar, cotton-textile-garment, and automobiles, according to a statement.

Each of the sectors is backed by active industry councils to drive localised production, stimulate domestic demand, and boost Nigeria’s global industrial competitiveness.

At the centre of this shift is the Nigeria First Policy, a landmark presidential directive that mandates all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to prioritise Nigerian-made goods and services in public procurement. This policy is already restructuring supply chains, catalysing job creation, and reducing overreliance on imports across key sectors.

Tegbe emphasised that the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership is committed to supporting this transformation, noting the country’s readiness to evolve from a consumption-driven economy into a strategic development partner, particularly with China.
