Tegbe Calls For Peace, Stronger Nigeria–China Partnership

The director general of Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, has felicitated with Christians on this year’s Easter, wishing them a happy celebration as they uphold the virtues of the religion.

Tegbe urged Christians to see Easter as a time of selfless sacrifice and a period of upholding Godly virtues of uprightness, humility, perseverance, and compassion while praying for peace and harmony.

“As we mark Easter, may we be reminded that meaningful partnerships like the one between Nigeria and China are built on mutual respect, shared goals, renewed hope, and a commitment to progress,” Tegbe stated.

This underscores the potential for mutual benefit through strategic investments, aligning with the broader goals of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Nigeria and China, intended to rebalance trade and strengthen economic ties.

The NCSP was established to drive Nigeria’s socio-economic transformation through targeted Chinese investments, aligning with Nigeria’s Renewed Hope Agenda and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The partnership aims to drive significant economic diversification and growth through cohesive inter-ministerial collaboration, benefiting every Nigerian.

Recently, the Federal Government convened an inter-ministerial meeting to strengthen the implementation of agreements reached during the 2024 FOCAC Summit. Hosted at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the meeting emphasised the urgency of converting memorandum of understanding (MOUs) into actionable projects that benefit all Nigerians.
