A delegation from the People’s Republic of China has arrived in Nigeria as part of plans to establish a solar panel manufacturing plant in Abia State, in a move expected to boost industrialisation, renewable energy development and employment in the state.
The proposed investment is being facilitated by MD Nwakanma Nigeria Limited in partnership with the Abia State Government, according to a statement issued by the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Madu Dennis Nwakanma.

Nwakanma described the arrival of the Chinese delegation as a major milestone in the process of actualising the project, saying the proposed manufacturing facility would strengthen Abia’s economy and position the state as a key player in Nigeria’s renewable energy industry.
He said the plant is expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, encourage technology transfer, develop local technical expertise and establish Abia as a hub for solar energy manufacturing.
According to him, the interest shown by the Chinese investors underscores growing confidence in the investment climate fostered by the administration of Governor Alex Chioma Otti.
He commended the governor for implementing economic reforms and policies that have made the state increasingly attractive to both local and foreign investors.
Nwakanma also acknowledged the contributions of Hon. Rowland Chinwendu Dennis, Leo Obioma Oti, Hon. Nnadozie Nwaogwugwu and the Abia State Government towards advancing the proposed investment.
He noted that the collaboration reflects Abia’s commitment to attracting strategic investments capable of driving economic diversification and supporting Nigeria’s transition to clean and sustainable energy.
The CEO expressed optimism that the successful establishment of the solar manufacturing plant would stimulate industrial growth, create employment opportunities, improve livelihoods and deliver long-term economic benefits to the state.
