Japan has given a grant of N1.9bn
($9.8m) for the generation of solar electricity in Nigeria, as part of
its infrastructure development assistance.
The Asian country is also considering a $200m request from the....
Federal Government for power transmission project.
The Japanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr.
Ryuichi Shoji, who said this at a news conference on Monday in Abuja,
noted that the support to Nigeria was part of his nation’s Official
Development Assistance, following the fifth Tokyo International
Conference on African Development, a summit initiated by Japan in 1993
to revive the interest of the international community in African
development.
Shoji also said that Japan was
considering a plan for Nigeria’s automobile industry development as well
as a centre for industrial human capacity development, stressing that
Japanese companies would soon double their presence in the country.
The envoy stated that his country had
budgeted an $85m loan for polio eradication and another $4m grant for
medical equipment for community health centres in Nigeria.
