Nigeria partners Chinese coy on decarbonisation of mining practices – Envoy

Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Presidential Envoy on Climate Action, says Nigeria is taking steps to decarbonise mining practices.

In a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, Ngelale said that to actualise this, he held substantive discussions with the Executive Management of Sinoma International Engineering Company at their Beijing Headquarters.

‘Mr Yin Zhisong, the Board Chairman of the company and Mr Zhu Bing, the Company’s President, were in attendance at the meeting which, covered areas of mutual interest,’ he said.

Ngelale said Nigeria was moving swiftly to localise the expertise Sinoma had developed in the decarbonisation of mining practices with full ecological support and restoration.

He added that the endeavour included cross-cutting automation of several manufacturing processes for Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), wind blades, and other very important technologies.

He described his engagement with the management of the Chinese company as very productive.
