Technology Transfer: Buhari Scores High As China Opens Training Facility In Nigeria. Chinese Luban workshop facility launched in Nigeria The Star Newspaper, Malaysia ABUJA, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- China on Friday launched a Luban workshop facility in central Nigeria, with an aim of providing high-end technical skills training to help college students meet the requirements of the emerging global market. The workshop facility hosted by the University of Abuja, the only public university in the Nigerian capital, will at the initial stage offer course majors including Urban Rail Transit Traffic Management, Urban Rail Transit Vehicles, and Railway Bridges and Tunnels. Other majors will include electronics, power mechanisms, and telecommunications. Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Nigeria Luban workshop and its operation, Abdulrasheed Na'Allah, Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, said the facility, established with the support of the Tianjin Sino-German University of Applied Sciences and Tianjin Railway Vocation and Technical College, will help in improving the skills of young Nigerians while promoting the Belt and Road Initiative of the Chinese government. "That today's ceremony is taking place is evidence of the exceptional work on the part of the partners to achieve success for our two nations and our peoples," Na'Allah said. The program is named after Lu Ban, an ancient Chinese woodcraft master, and aims at cultivating technical experts worldwide to serve their countries' economy and society. The establishment of the Nigeria Luban workshop and its aims and objectives are, according to the Nigerian university vice-chancellor, "an example of people-to-people engagement at the grassroots which is capable of cementing friendship between Nigerian and Chinese people forever," as well as "an example of a true partnership that is recommended to nations sincerely eager to forge genuine friendship". Na'Allah thanked the Chinese government for the opportunity given to the University of Abuja to host the workshop, saying it will contribute immensely to strengthening the university's opportunities to not only be at the forefront of the movement for the educational, technological, and economic development of Nigeria but to also be a world-class university. In September 2018, China announced that 10 Luban workshops would be established in Africa to provide vocational skills training for African youths, under the framework of the Forum On China-Africa Cooperation. The agreement to set up a Luban Workshop in Nigeria was inked in Tianjin on Nov. 14, 2019 by the Tianjin Railway Technical and Vocational College, the Tianjin Sino-German University of Applied Sciences, and the University of Abuja. Luban workshop textbooks were also launched during the virtual opening ceremony, held simultaneously in Abuja and Tianjin on Friday. The event was attended by senior Nigerian and Chinese officials, including Cao Xiaohong, vice mayor of Tianjin. Nigeria's education minister Adamu Adamu, represented by a senior ministry official, said the role of the youth, being the targeted beneficiaries of the Luban workshop, cannot be overemphasized and the program will duly contribute to the economic advancement of Nigeria. "This laudable initiative by the government of the People's Republic of China is commendable due to the technical and professional training for the good and development of our nation," he added. |

Another major technology transfer deal is the Rail Manufacturing Plant under construction by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) Chinese firm to build first rolling stock assembly plant in Nigeria OGUN, Nigeria, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese construction giant the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) will build a rolling stock assembly plant in Nigeria to promote the country's railway modernization project. At a groundbreaking ceremony for the plant Saturday at Kajola, a town in the southwestern state of Ogun, Nigeria's Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said it is a "historic turning point" in Nigeria's railway modernization plan. "When completed, it is expected that the plant will produce some wagons for the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna rail line ... and to satisfy the needs of other rail operators within the West African sub-region and indeed within the African continent," said Osinbajo. "The plant would offer an important platform for technicians, artisans, and others to gain specialized skills for the production and maintenance of rolling stocks," Osinbajo added. Nigerian Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi said the assembly plant would be the first of its kind in Nigeria, and it was to "meet the increasing demands of both passenger and freight on the new Nigerian standard gauge railway service." The plant would generate about 5,000 jobs, the minister added. Li Yuan, economic and commercial counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria, pledged to encourage Chinese companies to invest in Nigeria's manufacturing and agricultural sectors. Li said that China's direct investment in Nigeria's manufacturing sector has grown to 3 billion U.S. dollars, creating tens of thousands of jobs for local communities. The plant has the capacity to produce 500 wagons per year and will undertake key production processes like welding, assembly, painting, drying and testing, said Jiang Yigao, managing director of the CCECC. "Nigeria is surely marching to greater development and the CCECC will continue to partner with Nigeria in ensuring the technological development of the country," Jiang said. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-11/10/c_138543820.htm |

thatsleepboy1: Well spoken from your backyard. Better go out there and look for work.. there are jobs in many projects ongoing across the land. From construction to rail sector. Dangote refinery project alone in Lagos is employing thousands of youths. INNOSON employs 6,000 plus Nigerians in its vehicle factories. Your mates are finding jobs out there. You wouldn't know any of this if you just sat in your backyard smoking skunk and cursing Buhari. |

CSTRR: True. The US has never made it their concern to train any Africans in their technology. Except training in weapons and military. |

rossniti: There are many ways to "train Africans in their technology". What about offering scholarships to Africans? Does China do that more than the US? Does China spend (not loan) 8 billion dollars on Africa. China is like your boyfriend and American your daddy: you keep comparing your boyfriend's extras to your dad's staple until your dad is gone, then you know the difference. |
