Recently, China and Nigeria have reached a significant consensus on the modernization of ports. China will support Nigeria's port upgrades in various aspects, once again highlighting the two countries' cooperation in the maritime sector.

China currently operates 52 fully automated terminals, ranking among the top globally. These smart ports not only reduce human errors and enhance trade efficiency but also shorten vessel turnaround times. Addressing Nigeria's current status of "manual + semi-automation" ports, China will assist in deploying intelligent infrastructure, covering automated cargo handling, digital gate systems, electronic customs procedures, and maritime communication technologies, comprehensively aiding Nigeria in achieving a "digital transformation" of its ports.

Furthermore, China plans to assist Nigeria in nurturing maritime talent. In addition to offering the "China Maritime Special Scholarship," it will invite young people to participate in the four-week "Global Transport Innovation Program" to help participants quickly grasp the latest industry knowledge.
