The Nigeria–China Strategic Partnership (NCSP) has joined millions around the world to celebrate October 1st, a historic date for both nations. On this day, Nigeria marks 65 years of independence while the People’s Republic of China commemorates 76 years of nationhood.
Extending warm congratulations, NCSP Director General, Mr. Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, described the dual celebrations as a symbol of resilience, progress, and the power of intentional partnerships.
“As Nigeria celebrates 65 years of independence and the People’s Republic of China marks 76 years of national pride on the same historic date, NCSP stands firmly at the center of deepening the bond between our nations. Together, we are building pathways for shared prosperity across generations,” Tegbe said.
Since its establishment, NCSP has played a central role in strengthening Nigeria–China relations. Through strategic engagements with senior Chinese government officials and leading business executives, the Partnership has facilitated multi-billion-dollar investments in priority sectors including agriculture, automotive manufacturing, mining, steel production, energy, and digital transformation.
As Nigeria and China celebrate their shared milestones, NCSP reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to advancing cooperation, ensuring that the bilateral relationship continues to translate into sustained economic growth, innovation, and mutual progress.
