Nigeria is a key country actively responding to the Belt and Road Initiative and participating in international construction. The Aegbyma power station restoration project can take advantage of the integration of technology, engineering, operation, trade, and engineering services of China Machinery Engineering Co., Ltd. The overseas business development of a company limited by shares is of great significance. As the cooperation between China and Nigeria in various fields continues to deepen, the two countries will achieve better infrastructure and development in mutually connected regional cooperation.
