Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has said the state is expanding partnership with China to drive economic growth through investment in agriculture, mining, infrastructure and healthcare.
The governor disclosed this on his X handle on Tuesday after receiving the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Nigeria, His Excellency Yu Dunhai, and a delegation of Chinese investors at the Government House, Jos.
Mutfwang said discussions focused on attracting investment, driving technology transfer and creating jobs for Plateau residents.
According to him, agriculture remains central to the state’s vision, particularly through the proposed 500-hectare Special Agro-Processing Zone near the Yakubu Gowon International Cargo Airport.
He said the agro-processing zone will strengthen value addition and open new export opportunities for Plateau products.
The governor added that talks also covered responsible mining practices, livestock development, and leveraging China’s zero-tariff policy on Nigerian exports to access global markets.
“I am encouraged by the strong interest shown by our Chinese partners and remain committed to building strategic partnerships that will position Plateau State as a competitive destination for investment, innovation, and sustainable economic growth,” Mutfwang said.
