Speaking at the 2026 Ningbo Africa Trade and Logistics Cooperation Forum, Presidential Technical Adviser Dr. Segun Obayendo outlined Nigeria's strategy to leverage a deepened transport and supply chain partnership with China to help drive its target $1 trillion national economy by 2030.
The administration's Renewed Hope Agenda emphasizes integrated logistics corridors linking seaports, rail lines, highways, and inland dry ports to lower business costs and capture AfCFTA trade opportunities.
Beyond infrastructure expansion, the framework leverages China’s zero-tariff policy for African exports to accelerate local manufacturing, technology transfer, and job creation. A primary milestone from the forum includes a port development and logistics agreement between Nigeria's GK&A Logistics Services and China's Ningbo Foreign Trade Company, positioning Nigeria as West Africa's central logistics hub.
