Firm seeks to strengthen Nigeria-China economic ties

In a quest to strengthen trading between Nigeria and China, a real estate firm, Gafford Group, has expressed plans to play a major role in facilitating collaboration between the two countries.

The Gafford Group, led by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Gbadebo Olamerun, said this after a visit of the management of, to Tiantai, China, where they met with the Minister of Commerce, Wang Wentao, to explore potential business opportunities that could benefit Nigeria and China business opportunities.

Olamerun said that the initiative aimed to further position Nigeria as the primary benefactor of the surge of Chinese investments in the country.

He added that the potential partnership with both companies could significantly boost the availability of these essential tools in Nigeria, supporting the nation’s burgeoning automotive and construction industries.

By facilitating the importation of advanced materials and tools from China, Gafford Group said it aimed to contribute to Nigeria’s economic growth, particularly in the construction and manufacturing sectors.

He further said Gafford Group would continue to forge ahead with international collaborations as it remained committed to its vision of driving economic development in Nigeria.

During the meeting, the Minister of Commerce, Wentao, introduced the group to prominent Chinese companies, MC BOND – a manufacturer of metal composites and aluminium composite panels; and TaiZhou Xinming Technology Co Limited – a renowned manufacturer of mechanical tools, to collaborate with the firm to develop trade relations with Nigeria.

He said they were companies willing to open new avenues for the importation of high-quality building materials into Nigeria and address the growing demand for durable construction materials in the country.
