The Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi A.Sule has assured of massive job creation and improved power supply once President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of an Evergreen City to be sited in Nasarawa state becomes a reality.
Governor Sule was speaking at a meeting with officials of CATL a behemoth and World largest EV battery producers in China.
This is contained in a press statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ibrahim Addra.
The statement further reveals that the Governor is in China as part of a FG delegation led by the Chairman of the Presidential Steering Committee on Project Evergreen and Spokesman to the President Ajuri Ngelale.
Also in the team is the Managing Director/CEO of the Infrastructure Corporation of Nigeria (InfraCorp), Dr. Lazarus Angbazo.
Engr. Sule gave insights of the support system to be provided by the state including a proposed 5000 hectares of land in Karu LGA for the siting of the Evergreen City Project.
He further said Nigeria’s large population with a huge demand for energy is a ready market for the energy that will be generated from the project.
Governor Sule and the team were earlier taken on a tour of the facilities including the automated assembly line, the statement further said.
The CATL management in what could be described as positive response showed a detailed presentation of how their technologies and associated financing platforms can be tailored to the unique requirements of Evergreen City.
The delegation is also expected to attend similar meetings in Beijing in connection with the Evergreen City project.
