The agreement was signed in Xiamen, China, on the sidelines of the 2026 China International ITS Industry Expo held recently at the Xiamen International Conference and Exhibition Centre. According to a statement, the signing ceremony was witnessed by senior officials of the China ITS association and ITS Nigeria.
