Abuja – The Kogi State government and the Chinese Construction giant Chinese Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC) have met to finalise arrangements to scale up collaboration in the areas of planning, financing and execution of transport infrastructure in the state.

This was disclosed on Thursday in Abuja after a meeting held at the headquarters of CCECC in Abuja by the two parties.

Delegation of Kogi State Government led by Executive Officer, Kogi State Investment Promotion and Public Private Partnership Agency, Abdulkareem Siyaka and Members of the CCECC team led by Its Deputy Managing Director Guo Wenjun (middle) in a group photograph.

The Executive Officer of the Kogi State Investment Promotion and Public Private Partnership Agency, Abdulkareem Siyaka who led the government’s delegation disclosed that the first line of business upscaling and partnership is the construction of Inland Transit Port in Lokoja to link Warri – Burutu/Port Harcourt via Onitsha.

This, he said will rapidly develop the movement of agricultural produce and solid mineral cargo to and from Northern and Southern Nigeria.

He said the partnership was in line with the Kogi State’s medium-term economic development goals .

He said the state ambition is to within a 5-year time frame rapidly develop her infrastructure outlay, citing transport infrastructure as the bedrock of economic development.

Abdulkareem also told journalists that the upgrade of Adogo Airstrip to a commercial Cargo Airport to facilitate growth in cross-border trade and investment and boost real sector productivity was also discussed.

Another infrastructure to be executed under the partnership is the construction of Electrified Rail Project between Jebba, Kwara State and Lokoja

“This will reduce haulage costs within Nigeria by freeing excess pressure on road transport infrastructure,” he said.

Abdulkareem who also spoke on business models, stated that Kogi State is in the process of building its economy from a conservative civil service state to an Industrial giant in Northern Nigeria.

He said the ‘Build -Operate-Transfer’ model or similar model that will be economical for both parties would be ideal while involving the Federal Government to provide sovereign guarantees, including counterpart funding in any or all the projects.

On his part, the Deputy Managing Director of CCECC, Guo Wenjun commended the state government for its vision while expressing readiness for the relationship.

He noted that the Kogi State Government has been a friendly business partner of CCECC over the years with mutual understanding and benefits, promising to sustain this for the mutual benefits of Nigeria and China. (vitalnewsngr.com)
