Nigerian and Chinese business leaders have pledged to deepen bilateral trade and investment relations through expanded collaboration in exports, frontier artificial intelligence, healthcare, energy infrastructure, agriculture and industrialisation following the Nigeria-China Investment Summit 2026 held in Lagos.
The summit, organised by the Nigeria-China Investment Club under the theme, ‘Building Strategic Partnerships for Investment, Industrialisation, Job Creation, and Sustainable Economic Growth Between Nigeria and China,’ brought together government-backed Chinese investment organisations and Nigerian private sector stakeholders to explore new investment opportunities.
Speaking at the summit, President of the Nigeria-China Investment Club, Dr Chidi Uleli, said the partnership between the NCIC and the China International Business Development Committee would drive private sector-led investments into critical sectors of the Nigerian economy.
According to Uleli, the Chinese organisation is backed by the Chinese government and has over 40 million members, including more than 200 billionaire entrepreneurs and investors with interests in infrastructure, agriculture, digital payment systems, healthcare, energy and renewable energy.
