China helps Nigeria create power transmission network

A total of 60 engineers from Nigeria are learning power transmission techniques and equipment manufacturing in Northeast China's Liaoning province, to further Africa's indigenization efforts and promote bilateral cooperation with China.

"These engineers are seeds of the localization of electrical equipment production in Nigeria and even in Africa. Nigeria will be able to build, manufacture and maintain its own grid. We will help Africa build and upgrade electricity infrastructure in the next 10 to 20 years," said Ma Liming, chairman of the Liaoning Huaye Group.

Ma disclosed that Chinese and Nigerian engineers will cooperate to build a large power transmission equipment manufacturing industrial park in Nigeria. This will include three transformer plants and one high voltage testing laboratory.
